What happens when a Grey-headed Flying Fox roosts too close to a Currawong nest. Another show of what happens in nature. Reported to ACT Wildlife (WIRES) Kambah but as the animal was not injured and was too high up in the tree there was not much to do, told it would fly off when dark. The Flying Fox has now gone further up the tree and is not being harassed as much by the Currawongs. Just checked and no sign of it now it is dark.
