This is a huge colony of fruit bats that inhabit the more southern portions of the garden. They spend the day flying from tree to tree and squabbling noisily over space on the branches. They feed at dawn and at dusk. They eat fruit and blossoms, so that they are just a pest to the orchardists and gardeners. They do not eat insects and do not drink blood.
Because of the noise and mess, some people want the staff of the Gardens to force the flying fox colony to relocate. So, these may be the last photos I get of them.
