The flying foxes in my back garden are driving me crazy.
I can't sleep.
And every so often when the bats stop squeeling for a moment, a possum will land on the roof. The wrought iron roof.
Nature can get fucked.

Yikes! That is a horrendous noise...
How the heck are you sleeping?!
The first time I slept in a tropical forest I couldn't close my eyes and rest for a single minute..actually also the second time I slept in the forest...it took me a while...and I am not sure earplug can help that much with that noise....
Gawd, having grown up in Mackay and then spending a few years in Brisbane, I know exactly the sounds you're being audibly assaulted with!
My dad, when he was very hungry used to say 'I am so hungry I could eat the ass out of a low-flying bat'
Oh dear - charming eh?
Many African villagers stuff bat guano in their ears at night to muffle the sound of the screeching...
you know bats carry Marburg virus - kind of like Ebola, along with Hendra, Nipah and lysaaviruses. And you don;t have to catch it from the bat - you can get it from a horse that ate grass a bat shat on.
Just thought You'd like to know
Great Stephen, just what she needs after a shit night of sleep...
The one good thing I can say about living where I am during this time of year is that not much is moving around outside. Of course it's going down to 19f (-7c) tonight...
that sounds like my garden at night!
only instead of the noises on the roof, there are far more alarming scritchy-scratchy sounds from some internal wall space place!
loud screeching noises from the palm trees that sound like monkeys (rabied monkeys) - god knows what the hell they are?!
something that drinks human blood no doubt.
you are being comforted and sympathised with enough in the comments here.. can I just tell you I giggled my tits off when you wrote Nature can get fucked.. :) xx
Cat: It's horrible, isn't it? In answer to your question - i'm not!
FTW: I don't think earplugs would work. Sub-tropical climates have a lot to answer for.
Ms Smack: Good times, huh? Luckily for me, the pantry is stocked. : )
Fingers: Goodness gracious me. Chickens up noses and a bat shit reference. *Swoon*
US: Thanks blossom. I was only aware about the Hendra virus. Knowledge is power.
Fusion: I knew my excitement for summer would only last until the end of Spring. I'd love to be somewhere freezing right now.
TP: No doubt! Pesky little fuckers. I have a sneaking suspicion that we may live in the same city miss projectivist.
Sulky: My aim is to please! happy to give you a giggle x x
Oh, I have to put up listening to my stupid little cavoodle dog yapping and howling and yelping at the friggin door every fucking day.
Talk to me about nature ! gggrrrrr. You have my FULL and complete sympathies. x
Thank you Katie-Kate! I hope Bart is now behaving himself. x
Actually, I made all that up.
I just wanted to see if you'd actually stick bat poo in your ears...
You continue to rise in my estimation.
I am having exactly the same problem. And the flying foxes droppings are slippery on the concrete path and then set solid. The possums sound like elephants in hobnailed boots. And you're not allowed to shoot them anymore. Australia, wouldn't live anywhere else.
