Winning photograph of a flying fox

[Warrigal]

Not my photograph because I am hopeless with a camera.

I regularly look at the photo galleries of the ABC website and occasionally see one I would like to share.
This one is rather unusual IMO.

I'm guessing this guy is a fruit bat so he's not fishing, must be taking a bath?

Great photo. I'd love to catch something like that on my camera.

Yes, "flying foxes" are actually fruit bats. It would be a blessing if they all took regular baths. They are rather smelly.

Good photo, freaky if you think of it as a flying fox, not so much if you see it as a bat.
