Flying Fox wings

Flying Fox wings
A set of images of Australian Grey-headed Flying Foxes stretching their wings while at rest and flying over. Getting good flying shots between the trees is tricky as such flights are usually brief and very random. These are Australia's largest bats, with a wingspan of up to 1 metre. Best viewed large.

Estos “zorros” no pagan transporte, ni hotel y tienen la despensa abierta a su capricho:--)

Thank you, Jose. Yes, they seem to have everything, but they tend to be unpopular (noise, smell, damage to trees etc).

Whow..die sind ja mal wirklich groß und ich weiß nicht, ob ich nicht ein wenig Angst hätte vor ihnen! Tolle Aufnahmen George...die Farbe erinnert wirklich an einen Fuchs!

Thank you, Tanja. They're not aggressive, but can carry diseases so it's best to not have direct contact.

interessante opname George,wat gebeurt er op de grote foto ,,,heb je een stok vast of is het gewoon een boomtak ?

tiabunna club has replied to Fred Fouarge club
Thank you, Fred. No, I'm not holding a stick, that's just part of the tree branch from which the flying fox is hanging.

Buenas Tomás, pero cuidado, sabemos las enfermedades que pueden portar estos animales.

tiabunna club has replied to Marije Aguillo club
Thank you, Marije. Yes, although they're not aggressive they can indeed carry some nasty diseases, so it's a matter of keeping clear and being careful.

You are lucky to have them, I love bats. We still could see some around the lamposts at night here 15 years ago... but the small ones, and nowadays they disappeared (unfortunately).
The ones you show are gorgeous and your photos amazing.

Many thanks, Isabel. We do also have a number of smaller bats, usually insect eaters, but they're much harder to find in daytime than these.

A wonderful series of images George. Bats are so cool, - I love them. I will show my daughter when she comes to visit, - she is bat mad and even has a tattoo of bats across one shoulder. When she stands on her doorstep at night they swoop down until they are almost touching her.
We only tend to see them at night here though, and they are so much smaller, - mostly pipistrelles. Lovely to see these big beauties out in the light. They really do look like little foxes!

Beautiful images, beautifully captured

Many thanks, Carol. Yes, they are quite fascinating. When these head out at night (actually late dusk) they all head off in one direction like a convoy. I've tried with some difficulty to get shots of them passing and will post soon.

A great series of photos, George. Those are big bats! The one around here are small insect eaters--which, to be sure, is a valuable service ;)

Hi George
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice so see these animals which we know nothing of here.
Our bats only come out at dusk, and are so quick that you can't get a photo, other than by luck.
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter
