Starting to cook

Just after 9am. Offically, Sydney is 31.5C at 9am. Here on the harbour and close to the coast it is one degree cooler.

This one has found a small breeze!

Bliss!

Not to be outdone

The bat (batty fox or foxy bat?) continues to visit the tree every night.

 

Pretending to be just hanging around. Who sir, me sir?

 

Peek-a-boo!!

Tenacious

as well as foxy, totally bat foxy for palm sugar

 

  

Normally I don't process photos but I did an auto correct on the one above which better shows what's happening.

 

This shot has auto correct also.

Under cover of the night

A bat takes the night shift. I'm not sure whether this is a flying fox or a fruit bat. It's definitely a foxy winged fruit eating warm blood of some sort.

Sensitive to my presence, it stops what it is doing and hangs motionless this way every time I move in to take a picture. It can detect every little sound. Who knows what it makes of the flash.

Just a harmless bat and that's my story.

Gotcha! Foxy after all.

Nice plumage
