Megabat In Flight


Here's a Grey-headed Flying Fox about to alight on a tree in the Royal Botanic Gardens of Sydney.  The trust administering the park has permission to evict the colony that's resident there, but has yet to act.

The similar formal gardens in Melbourne used to host a big bat colony, and successfully relocated them 6km away to a more rural park in Yarra Bend.
