Looks very interesting, George ! I’ve never seen them in real life !

Thank you, Ulrich.

Wonderful images of these remarkabke creatures!!
Fabulous series, George!!!
Many thanks for sharing

Thank you, Judite.

Exquisite series, George! I love those little guys. In German they´re called "flying dogs"

Thank you, Stephan.

Fotografías buenas e interesantes.
Estos “zorros” no pagan transporte, ni hotel y tienen la despensa abierta a su capricho:--)

Thank you, Jose. Yes, they seem to have everything, but they tend to be unpopular (noise, smell, damage to trees etc).

Remarkable shots! Stay well!

STRETCHED LEATHER

Fantastic shots, George!
The middle PiP is masterful!

Thank you, I tossed up whether to make that the main image. :-)

extra !!

Merci bien, Dan.

Whow..die sind ja mal wirklich groß und ich weiß nicht, ob ich nicht ein wenig Angst hätte vor ihnen! Tolle Aufnahmen George...die Farbe erinnert wirklich an einen Fuchs!

Thank you, Tanja. They're not aggressive, but can carry diseases so it's best to not have direct contact.

interessante opname George,wat gebeurt er op de grote foto ,,,heb je een stok vast of is het gewoon een boomtak ?

Thank you, Fred. No, I'm not holding a stick, that's just part of the tree branch from which the flying fox is hanging.

Zeer interessante foto George--wat gebeurt er op de grote foto is dat een gewone boomtak of heb jij een stok in je hand ?

Eine fantastische Serie mit diesen großen Fledermäusen, George.
Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Tag
Erich

Many thanks, Erich, much appreciated.

Buenas Tomás, pero cuidado, sabemos las enfermedades que pueden portar estos animales.

Thank you, Marije. Yes, although they're not aggressive they can indeed carry some nasty diseases, so it's a matter of keeping clear and being careful.

You are lucky to have them, I love bats. We still could see some around the lamposts at night here 15 years ago... but the small ones, and nowadays they disappeared (unfortunately).
The ones you show are gorgeous and your photos amazing.

Many thanks, Isabel. We do also have a number of smaller bats, usually insect eaters, but they're much harder to find in daytime than these.

A wonderful series of images George. Bats are so cool, - I love them. I will show my daughter when she comes to visit, - she is bat mad and even has a tattoo of bats across one shoulder. When she stands on her doorstep at night they swoop down until they are almost touching her.
We only tend to see them at night here though, and they are so much smaller, - mostly pipistrelles. Lovely to see these big beauties out in the light. They really do look like little foxes!

Beautiful images, beautifully captured

Many thanks, Carol. Yes, they are quite fascinating. When these head out at night (actually late dusk) they all head off in one direction like a convoy. I've tried with some difficulty to get shots of them passing and will post soon.

A great series of photos, George. Those are big bats! The one around here are small insect eaters--which, to be sure, is a valuable service ;)
