jakobDescription
Nesting on a ferry going daily for 33 km up and down the Drin Valley (2:30 hours one-way).
The swallows are breeding in the vehicle area on the lower deck, which is open on both sides.
Apparently, the parents are shuttling back and forth with the ferry, and feeding their chicks during the trip.

Black Flying Fox (Pteropus alecto)Observer
maashaDescription
We ventured to Indooroopilly Island, where there is a huge colony of fruit bat counting several hundred thousand bats this time of year. You can wade across to the island at low tide - which was at 5.32 AM - from the golf grounds at Indooroopilly Golf Club, however, the going is tough with black stinking mangroove mud, dense mangroove, heaps of spider webs and a plethora of mosquitos. We finally made it there, but it was hard to move around without disturbing the bats. Well, one good thing about disturbing the bats was the opportunity to catch a few shots of bats in flight.

Propellerbugs on grass

Numerous individuals and pairs on the underside of Setaria megaphylla leaves in shaded forest understory. They jump when disturbed but I failed to encourage any of them to demonstrate that they can actually fly.
