Description
Or I should say trees full of flying foxes also called fruit bats at the middle of Centennial park, and can see one just flying to different tree.
Large numbers of grey-headed flying foxes (5,000 to ~45,000) – also known as fruit bats – have been roosting within Lachlan swamp since early 2010.
The number of flying foxes roosting within Lachlan swamp, and the broader Sydney region, is seasonally and annually variable. For example, in November 2014 there were ~20,000, however in November 2015 there were ~10,000 flying foxes. The number of flying foxes depends upon the amount of food available in the Sydney region compared to surrounding areas (e.g. south coast (Batemans Bay), Hunter region, northern NSW, or southeast Queensland). Flying foxes fitted with satellite transmitters have been recorded moving from the Sydney region to Melbourne (Vic), Dubbo (NSW) and Bundaberg (Qld), and everywhere in between.
