•  Question Is that another bat in the background? --Boothsift 07:44, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

• Answer: No - just the edge of the pond or maybe a tree. In some locations the flying foxes come in groups, especially if its hot and there's a large colony. In this case it was just infrequently, one at a time, given that its just a very small colony and not yet summer. --Bald white guy (talk) 09:49, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
