Baby Grey Squirrels in a shoebox wrapped in a dude’s old tighty-whities,” said Michelle Wellard. “No, Debbie Faires in South Carolina had a baby squirrel delivered in a mink hat. Bat finders often want to insure there’s enough room between them and the bat. Obviously, there’s no air in there.” Soaked and ice cold!

Ahead of the first trip, I wasn’t thinking much about mammals, and yet, you cannot miss them, from Nilgais near villages to Indian Flying Foxes in town centres, not to mention those ubiquitous and irresistibly cute Palm Squirrels eating seeds left for parakeets. On that first trip, I even saw some of the last 500 (Asiatic) Lions !

At the opposite bank, a Eurasian Red Squirrel is checking the poplars, climbing each one for a metre or two, sniffing – I guess, and then jumping down to the next one. Bats flying out of the Lazareva Cave, (c) Jovica Sjenicic. And if I get up to walk to the other side, it would fly away.

This is where Gila Woodpecker and Yellow-breasted Chat meet Squirrel Cuckoo , Bat Falcon , and Black-throated Magpie-Jay. As the sun began to set, a flock of Mexican Parrotlets alighted in a tree with brilliant red bark, and we all noticed a Bat Falcon watching silently from a high perch above all the action down below.

Along with more orangutans and diminutive Common Pygmy Squirrels, we also found a massive cobra one day! At nighttime this allowed some impromptu spotlighting, and we found many spiders, insects, bats as well as a Lesser Mousedeer and a sleeping Malaysian Flycatcher. A side tributary. The birding was pretty ace too.

I’ve noted at least nine species of reptiles and amphibians, even our native opossum and squirrel. Of course, various species of bats as well. Over fifteen different butterflies frequent our yard now, but I’m certain there are more as I’m not that good with insects in general.

In 2023 I attempted to keep a year list of mammal encounters: the list barely exceeded 20 species, while it became complicated by seeing bats and voles that I was unable to name specifically. I’ve yet to see an English pine marten, but I once watched one hunting red squirrels in the Bialowieza Forest in Poland.
