Watching You Watching Me

I have been compelled to return to the Cussen Park wetlands three times this past week, trying unsuccessfully to get a Blip of a Little Red Flying Fox in flight.  Just to get a decent one of them "hanging around" is difficult because they cluster (about two thousand of them) in the shadiest part of the trees and mainly at a height of 60ft or so. Today, full of determination I went over early morning hoping the sun would highlight at least a couple. I was just pleased to make "eye contact" with one or two in the end.  
The little red flying fox is a species of the megabat native to northern and easter Australia. They weigh about 400grams and are the smallest of the flying foxes in mainland Australia.  They are important pollinators and seed distributors.  They eat both blossoms, nectar  and fruit, but mainly blossoms, unlike other fruit bats. As seasonal conditions change the large groups (sometimes as many as100,000) break up and become nomadic searching further afield for food.
I think that if I want one in flight, I will have to go back in the evening when they fly from their roosts to search for food. Not sure that will happen this week!
