Massed Flying Foxes

You may need to view this large to see the many Grey-headed Flying Foxes(Pteropus poliocephalus) which have again taken residence the trees in a park in town - despite the local Council's efforts to persuade them to camp in other places. These are Australia's largest bats and grow to a weight of about 1 kg and a wingspan of about 1 metre. Largely because of Australia's recent disastrous fires, these are now listed as "Vulnerable".

I viewed large and they are incredible George! I hope they are soon back out in the wild and loose their vulnerable status. Such an interesting shot.
