Bow to your partner.... by gilbertwood

Bow to your partner....

....and then you turn around! I can't help but think of this children's song by The Wiggles when I look at this bat :)
Great shot

A cool title and a fabulous image
February 19th, 2019  
Having had some in my house I just don't like them. Not even looking at this one.

A fabulous capture - such a little beauty . - big fav

Super image! What an elegant bat ... but I really would rather it stayed in your image, I'm not a fan. They move too quick for my liking.

They look lovely as long as there are only one or two but whenever we go through Raymond Terrace there are hundreds of them in the trees and the smell is dreadful. Glad I don't live there.

Lovely capture of this beautiful creature :)
February 19th, 2019  
What a great capture! Look at him!
February 19th, 2019  
Looks like a large fruit bat. We have very tiny bats around here, but I love to see the larger ones.

Your title is perfect for this Denise. I love their cute little faces, but not their odour!
February 19th, 2019  
Wonderful capture
February 19th, 2019

Great capture Denise not the prettiest of subjects scared the life out of me seeing them hanging about the trees on my first visit to Australia:)
February 19th, 2019  
Great capture. Fav!! 😀
February 19th, 2019  
Wow- is he hanging out in your yard? They aren't the prettiest creatures but they sure help keep the bug population down! Great shot!
February 19th, 2019  
Great capture
February 19th, 2019

Wow, looks like Dracula. Great shot.
February 20th, 2019  
Yikes, that would make me crap my pants if I saw it in the wild! Great capture though!
February 20th, 2019  
Goodness gracious me, and it's awake and keeping an eye on you.

Oh I would never get that close to a bat!
February 20th, 2019  
aww great catch! I love bats!
February 20th, 2019  
@koalagardens Hard to believe they are endangered as we have plenty down here!
@pcoulson I actually find them quite fascinating :) Hope the rest of your Aussie trip was good!
@olivetreeann No it's not in my yard but in the Botanical Gardens just up the road :)
@stray_shooter I'll post over some new undies for you :)
@golftragic W had quite a long chat actually :)
@gigiflower Why? They're sweet creatures :)
@kklinck Lovely to see someone else loves them :)
February 20th, 2019  
Sam
@gilbertwood Scary!!!
February 20th, 2019  
@gigiflower Boooo :)
February 20th, 2019  
@olivetreeann these are flying foxes, they eat fruits and nectar, rather than insects. What I love is that their primary food trees are the koala primary food trees. Flying foxes are more important for pollination than even bees, so the dropping numbers is a big issue. No flying foxes, no koala trees, and many other critical natives.

oops there I go again, can't help myself making those long replies...

@gilbertwood I've be to Australia many time since and have have some wonderful times there I almost emigrated there in the 1970's:)
February 20th, 2019  
They're not my favourite animal since they overtake our parks and have killed some large old fig trees. They do make a great subject though.
February 20th, 2019  
A wonderful shot.
February 20th, 2019  
Amazing shot. I thought they were only active at night?
