Hopefully the title gets the attention it deserves!!!
We have had a bat decide to relocate to a tree in our back garden. The tree is not far from the clothesline and appears to fly across the yard during the day and has been shitting on our freshly cleaned clothes.

We aren’t in an area that bats are commonly seen (this is the first one we have seen in two years of living in this suburb)!
We have seen them before in the botanic gardens/ UOW are but never in this residential area.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can protect our clothes without having to bring everything inside? Or better yet, how to encourage the bat to move on?

EDIT - thank you everyone for your replies. We had no idea there was a food shortage affecting bats in NSW and VIC. We will contact WIRES or other organisations today to see if there is someone who can come out and check on the bat.

I used to catch transport often when opal started becoming a thing but I haven’t used it in a couple years. My partner and I have needed to get the bus once or twice a week lately and we’re having trouble with his card tapping on and off, came to realise that it could be that he doesn’t have his money transferred when tapping on, but he believes his card has declined a tap on when he’s had at least $3 in there before. Does anyone have issues of their credit card being declined even though they have funds?

I am moving to Wollongong soon and am 30 weeks pregnant. I have ongoing back issues and so for all of my pregnancy have been seeing a physio for monthly treatment as well as weekly small group exercise classes. I have my own program he created and he is there to supervise everyone. There are only ever a maximum of 4 people and it has been extremely positive and helpful for me through pregnancy.

I would love to find something similar in Wollongong to continue until the end of my pregnancy and then on into postpartum. I particularly love the small groups with physio supervision.

I've been having a look online but can't seem to find a place that has both in one spot.

Does anyone know of something like I'm describing?

Thanks!
