Do the horizontal

The lorikeets have been sucking the sap for many months and it seems to have knocked them sideways.

 

  

Hopelessly hooked on palm syrup.

 

Days of their lives

They are totally obsesssed with this tree.

 

 

A rare moment when the branch wasn't being whittled away by a sap sucker.

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.
