Flying foxes

Yesterday I went to Parramatta Park with my daughter and grandchildren. I knew there was a bat colony there, but never seen it before - there must have been hundreds hanging in the trees. They are very difficult to photograph in flight as by the time they launch themselves, fly around in a circle and come back to land, it is difficult to follow them and focus. I took my 100-400 mm lens with me and it has fairly slow AF, but I did manage to salvage a few photos.
