Grey-headed flying foxes, Wollongong

The "bats" or grey-headed flying foxes of Wollongong.

Every night there is a river of flying foxes leaving their roosting trees setting off to forage for food. Quite often we hear one in our back yard. Their favourite trees to roost in are casuarinas. This location is about 1 km (as the bat flies) from our house.

 

I is interesting to study how they wrap themselves up in their wings.
