44/365Flying Foxes australianmuseum.net.au/Little-Red-Flying-foxThere are several large colonies of flying foxes in our region. Some people dislike them, but i think they are very adorable. They are fruit eaters, so if you have fruit trees in your neighbourhood, you have to hear them bickering and squabbling all night long. The colonies look quite spectacular on dusk when they all take flight for the evening.
