🦇 BAT HUNT #2 — THE SECOND BAT 🩸
The second little bat has flown away,
And chosen a spot where the old stones stay.
A place of remembrance, peaceful and still,
Where stories of Whanganui linger still.

But please take care as you search nearby,
For this is a place to pass quietly by.
Don’t enter the grounds or disturb what you see —Your little bat is hiding where it shouldn’t be. 🦇

Look just outside, and keep your eyes keen,
The second bat may be hiding unseen.
Search with respect, and you may just find
The little bat that Dracula left behind!
Can you find the second bat?
If you do, take a photo with your discovery and send it to us!

Three bats. Three prizes.
But which prize will be yours? 👀

And chosen a hiding place out of sight.

You never know what you might seek.
Somewhere nearby, your bat may be found,
So start your hunt and look around! 🦇

Three bats. Three prizes.
�But which prize will be yours? 👀

Happy hunting, Whanganui!
