Bats

You may have read news articles about bats taking over towns in Queensland...

There are certainly a lot in Atherton too!

Several times last year while visiting people there you would see groups of maybe a hundred or so flying past in the early evening. But last night when I drove up for music practise there were so many it was impossible to guess how many. I wouldn't be surprised if it was over 100,000.

Close up so you can see they are bats, not birds!
