Black Flying Foxes (Pteropus alecto)

Taken with the 168mm lens on the Mavic 4 Pro drone. The 168mm lens is great, because it lets me get close enough for a good photo, but also remain far enough away that the animals aren't disturbed by the presence of the drone.

Herston, Brisbane/Meanjin, Australia

Seems it's #BatAppreciationDay 

These are always hard to photograph against the ridiculously bright ceiling but I have a few more photos of them. Works better in the summer because bringing a lens with metal casing from 0°C into 30° 100% humidity is not going to work.

“Katarsis” by She Past Away

I love the mashup of this Turkish rock song with footage of roosting fruit bats. It makes it look like they’re raving in a club.

Lyle's flying fox is a relatively small flying fox with a wingspan of about 70 cm. It lives in forest and swamplands in groups of up to several thousand individuals.

These are always the most difficult to get pictures from because the ceiling is a light and they are not far enough from the lens. The minimum focus distance is 2.7m. And in the winter the lens is immediately fogged up if you enter the building. With around 10°C it was ok-ish at least.

But they are so cute!
