Batman!

(karen)
I've told you about the mighty bats of Sydney but I'm afraid many of you have failed to grasp the sheer size of these flying rodents. They are about the size of seagulls. There are hundreds of them that patrol the night skies, keeping our Aussie Gotham free from the seedy underbelly of the insect world. And I think they are just about the coolest kids on the block. After several failed attempts, I managed to get this shot of a bat friend as he was drinking from the pond at Darling Harbour.


(Too bad their eyes don't really glow like demons, that would be awesome)
