After the nature walk the day before, I headed back late in the afternoon of the 3 December to try and get some better photographs of the flying foxes. I went straight to their camp and then started photographing.
This is the the time of year that many of the female flying foxes have babies. The babies are usually born in October. And a baby flying fox has to hold on tight to its mother for a few months till it gets big enough to support itself. The mother carries he baby on its nightly flights for food. I did see quite a few baby flying foxes – but they and their mothers were often asleep.
I got a few nice photos but nothing too special. I was hoping that the flying foxes would be more active in the early evening – but if anything most of them were sleeping soundly.
I think a few more visits are warranted before the babies get too big.
More photos are online on my website here.
