How Not To Be Seen




Port Macquarrie colony of grey headed flying foxes. There are over 50,000 animals in the colony.

These bats have learned the first lesson in not being seen: Do not stand up!

However, they have chosen an obvious piece of cover.:D

(Small branch peeking out of surface of water explodes to maniacal laughter)

They used to roost in leafy mangroves, but 50,000 bats do a lot of damage after a while.

"...and now for something completely different"

Looks like some of those branches are angled more then others due to the extra load. I wonder if they have problems with sunburn being exposed to direct sunlight with furless wings.

This is almost like one of those "Where's Waldo" pictures. Maybe you should do up something like that with nature shots. You'd be able to make a bundle of $$$ I'm sure.
