Just from 'A Field Guide to the Mammals of Australia' by Peter Menkhorst and
Frank Knight it looks more like Spectacled to me because of, in part, the
colours of the back. The Black seems to have only a rufuous collar with the
rest of the back, black.
OK Brisbane is out of the range shown for the Spectacled Flying-fox (in my 2001 copy) but then the Black arrived in Melbourne recently when its southern limit in 2000 was Brisbane. See http://www.theage.com.au/national/black-bats-hang-out-at-the-bend-20100707-100o9.html Michael Norris |
