It's the weekend - just chill! - a photo on Flickriver

Fruit bats or Flying Foxes as we generally call them having their daytime rest at the Redcliffe Botanic Gardens. They move around quite a lot and roost in different patches of the gardens - this time they were mainly above the thick canopy of trees and hard to get decent shots of. They also seemed to have been roosting on top of the many tracks which meant for a very sticky and unpleasant walk. Better luck next time I say.

They reminded us very much of the Galahs which come to feed at our place, continuously grouching at each other.
