User's notes
Very large numbers of bat's in this size range in the reserve I would guess well over 30 based on the activity. But I only definitely confirmed 2 in that tree.

This one is grey headed not little red flying fox, the grey head and golden mantle give it away.

Cheers for the pointer! I just assumed that reddy colour around the neck made it a red flying fox.
