We witnessed a fantastic spectacle not seen by the locals for the past 30 years. With the mass flowering of the eucalyptus trees or Inland White Mahogany, a massive colony of Little Red Flying-foxes (Pteropus scapulatus) estimated to peak at about 100,000 bats took up residence all along the Wild River of Heberton sometime early Dec 2013 to March 2014 with the little reds seeking the flower’s nectar and pollen. The Little Red Flying-fox is a species of megabat native to northern and eastern Australia. With a weight of 280–530 grams (9.9–18.7 oz) it is the smallest flying fox in mainland Australia (the others being the black, spectacled and grey-headed flying foxes).
