Last March over three hundred people came to Turrella Reserve in Earlwood to watch our local colony of Grey-headed Flying Foxes fly out to feed at sunset. The Wolli Creek Preservation Society were celebrating not only Australasian Bat Month, but one of Australia’s most important long-distance pollinators. The Society is keen to raise local people’s awareness about them and their shrinking habitat.

It was a great evening, especially for the kids! Here’s a video I made of the event. The picnic was supported by Bayside Council, Sydney Trains, City of Canterbury Bankstown and NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.
