Flying foxes briefly return to spruced-up camp
Grey-headed flying foxes briefly returned to the Batemans Bay Water Gardens last week after an 11-month hiatus.
The flying-fox camp at the Gardens had been occupied by flying-foxes each summer and autumn since they were first recorded there in 2012. However, in April 2020 the bats vacated the camp and did not return until late April this year.
Eurobodalla Council’s flying fox officer Natalie Foster explained that flying foxes were very unpredictable.
“We’re not sure why they did not come back to the Water Gardens until now,” she said, adding that this year, they seemed to favour the Catalina golf course, as well as camps in Moruya, Tuross Head and Narooma.
