Indian flying-foxes, Kochi


Today we came across a colony of Indian flying-foxes, also known as giant fruit bat, at Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary near Kochi city centre. As the name implies, this is the largest of the flying-fox species.




We also saw a couple of three-striped palm squirrels.


It was fairly quiet for birds but there were a few Asian koels in the woodland.....


...and nearby a white-rumped munia.
