That's because they refuse to try what people who know about bats have told
them is likely to be the way that has a chance of working.

As long as the BGT persist with their present attitude they will have only
dead trees to show for it - a disaster for the bats and a shame for the
trees.

Nick,
Your son will have no chance of missing fruit bats in Sydney
Botanical Gardens. They have been trying for years to move them on
but they persist.
If you are on Scotland Island then you may have access to a boat. It
is a nice ride across to Patonga village on the northern side of
Pittwater/Hawkesury. From there it is a lovely walk over the hill to
Pearl Beach with great views & a good chance of seeing Glossy Black
Cockatoo, Lyrebird, Origima, as well as the usual honeyeaters.
Have a great trip. Chris
