## Caption

Last week, we brought you the story of Merle the bat - her rescue from our galleries and her rehabilitation by our volunteer Rose-Ann, a licensed bat carer.

Yesterday evening, Merle was safely released back into the wild, flying off healthily into the night 🦇

Our huge thanks to our volunteer Rose-Ann for rescuing Merle, nursing her back to full health, and releasing her so that she has another chance at a good life 🖤 

Our thanks, also, to Charlotte Allchin for capturing the video 🖤
