Ha, to the large group of fruit bats at Regatta Point.  

We are at Mallacoota where the colony is this year estimated at 30-40,000.  Certainly way bigger than we have ever seen it (but we have been told it has been that big in the past).

The dramatically  large concentration of flying foxes at Commonwealth Park has even casual passers-by snapping away with their phones.  As they fly slowly and relatively low the FFs are quite easy to photograph in flight.  More of a challenge is picking out a female carrying young.  Examples below.
