#batstodon — Public Fediverse posts

Watching the fruit bats zigzag through the figtrees as the moon rises. They are in a frenzy, gorging themselves on bait-balls of sugar-drunk fruitflies.

I took this in slow motion, but even with that, they flicker and strobe past.

Ok, as threatened, here are some more #BatsOfMastodon #batstodon

Quality is variable, mostly tending to poor (low light, ISO noise, motion blur, all synonyms for amateur photographer).

However I can promise a few shots you've probably never seen before, one capturing IN ONE FRAME, ladies and gentlemen, a bat, a Currawong, a giraffe, a zebra, a human, and a Bus Zone sign.

Also the Bat v. Currawong aerial duel.

Plus some close encounters of the chiropteric kind.

I'll thread these up.
