gergGrey-headed flying fox, Pteropus poliocephalus.<br> <br> Flying foxes, or fruit bats, are a species of megabat. They aren't native to my part of Australia, but started migrating here from the eastern states about fifteen years ago in search of food. There's now a colony of around 35,000 bats living in the Adelaide park lands.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/flyingfox?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#flyingfox</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fruitbat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fruitbat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/megabat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#megabat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/auswildlife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#auswildlife</a>

Enjoy another bat release slomo video! :D

It has been a fun week of field work. I really enjoy spending time in nature with other nature geeks as we all work to protect this planet :blob_raccoon_blueheart:

(Handled under permit for a conservation study, never play with wildlife without proper training and permits!)
