Gone Batty Queensland Parks and Wildlife is looking for help to identify and monitor local flying-fox colonies. Two species of flying-fox can be found in the Whitsunday region. The best-known is the black flying-fox (Pteropus alecto) – a permanent resident of the area and the largest of the flying-fox species. At times the nomadic little red flying-fox (Pteropus scapulatus) also shows up, often sharing a daytime roosting site with its much larger cousin. Surprisingly little is known about the distribution and abundance of flying-fox populations. Flying-foxes and their relatives are all fruit and nectar feeders. The loss of food trees and roosting sites due to pastoral clearing and coastal development has raised concerns that some flying-fox species may be in serious trouble. A Statewide flying-fox monitoring project is aiming to monitor the relative distribution and abundance of flying-foxes within Queensland. Anyone who knows the location of a flying-fox colony or thinks they might like to help out can call the local Queensland Parks and Wildlife office on 07 4967 7365. Peter Sykes |
