Our collage work is, as ever, growing alongside wildlife care, with the two literally side by side, interweaving whether intentional or not. Our Tiny but Wild shelter is our home-based studio and vice versa, and the knowledge from one flows into the other.

Several new and terrifically exciting projects for 2026 are forming in the wings, and while it is too early to reveal them, in full, a small peep at the process, for the source material is spectacular, really must be shared.

Who knows? Some leave quickly, some return often, as they find their way.

They’d threaded out into the night, that keen and clever pair. Up into the embrace of the trees. To the connected canopy of bough after bough. Perhaps to their familiar nesting box we’d earlier secured to the tree nearest the enclosure.

Unscrewing the lid, and easing a rope through the hole, we imparted, wordlessly, stay up high, little ones. Stay ever alert. Live a long life, and enjoy the texture of the thick bark beneath your paws. The following day we heard news they had vacated the trailer.

As ever, please note: you need to be a qualified, vaccinated carer to handle bats. 🦇

“If you find a microbat in a spot like this during winter, it is important not to disturb them as they are likely in torpor and may not be able to survive if this is interrupted.“

“Due to increased urbanisation and habitat destruction, microbats often use outdoor furniture or similar human structures to roost in.”
