So whilst we've been exploring the town we have stumbled upon a particular tree in the town centre that is FILLED with bats! unsure as to what sort of bats they were, they make really loud screeching sounds we of course turned to google and wettropics.gov.au confirmed that they are fruit bats (thankfully not after our blood)haha!not the best shot but you can see them hanging in the tree to the right of the image.
Whilst out and about one evening at around dusk the bats leave their trees to find food...combined with a lovely sunset it was an amazing sight to see. The sky was literally filled with bats.
Unfortunately we stumbled upon this guy, (perhaps concussed / sleeping... nah pretty sure dead) he really gives a perspective of how big each of the bats actually are.
On the same walk back we also came across a small dead bird outside the local shopping centre. Usually I would not find it necessary to document such a thing, however the location of the bird was so bizarre... see for yourselves
