Meet a Flying Fox

This is a Grey-headed Flying Fox. Despite the name, these are actually fruit bats and live on nectar and fruits. They are Australia's largest bats, with a wingspan of about a metre (see note). They are classed as endangered but this year the local colony (right in the middle of town) has grown to about 100,000 - which does create more than a few problems! Better viewed large.

I live in Batemans Bay and there are suggestions it should now be renamed "Batman's Bay". :-) Which leads to the obvious musical link.
