Alexx three, Bats zero

Once again, the aerie has been invaded. And yet again, I have valiantly returned the airborne intruder to its outdoor habitat. Not without considerable effort and frustration. On the other hand, eventually the fabled Portal Shorts of Bat Stunning actually worked in the way I had initially envisioned for once. I managed to get the bat tangled in them to the point where I could pick it up without getting bitten. It squeaked in an affronted manner, but that didn't stop me from bringing it to the front door and letting it go.

It's going to be a while before I can get back to sleep after that, so I thought I might as well post about it. Tomorrow afternoon, off to the clinic for rabies test. Almost certainly negative, but it's not the sort of thing to leave unchecked.
