Grey Faced Flying Fox

These extremely rare and
endangered Flying Foxes
are still in residence in
the wetlands across from out house.
I finally managed to get some photographs
on a sunny day.
The flying foxes usually sleep during the day,
so I was lucky to get this shot.

Thanks for your comments Cindy and Michael.
Flying foxes are bats.
Cindy Flood07-Apr-2017 00:25
Wow! That is an amazing capture. Are they relatives of bats?

I helped out counting the this morning.
We estimate between 6 and 7000.
Lovely

Super impressive, Elaine....so glad you were able to capture it.

Thanks, Pete. Not very elusive here at the moment,
have about 1000 just over the laneway.
So much fun, a multi-sensory experience, smell and sound as well as
visual......great fun.

Thank you so much, Sally and Hal.
This pic was taken on Saturday, as you will see from the date.
It was taken from the laneway.
