Hot weather event

The recent wild weather up north has led to an influx of Grey Headed Flying Foxes seeking shelter with our local flying fox colonies, including at Bingara Reserve.

We’re expecting a hot weekend with temperatures potentially reaching 37 degrees Celsius on Sunday according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

Grey Headed Flying Foxes are vulnerable to heat stress, so local wildlife carers are on alert and will be monitoring the local colonies.

If you spot any sick or injured wildlife, do not attempt to handle them. Please contact a wildlife carer as soon as possible.
