Barbara found this little guy in the undergrowth on the side of a path in very cold and wet conditions. The Glider was barely responsive and had a wound on its nose. We wrapped it in a fleece and delivered it to the Tidbinbilla Information Centre Rangers who passed it on to a carer from Tharwa. Hopefully it survives and can be released back where it was found.

Not sure if you'll see this but thought you'd like to know this glider spent a few nights getting warmed up and then was released back in Tidbinbilla where it was found. I volunteer with ACT Wildlife and I have looked up the record for this glider. The carer named her Sylvie. Thanks for saving her.

So good to hear @Kelly123456 We've often wondered what happened to this little glider. And thanks to ACT Wildlife, Sylvie's carer and the Tidbinbilla Rangers for their all-important part in this. Tim and Barbara.
