Flying Foxes

Little Red Flying Foxes and other bat species have been flying over Teewah in vast numbers. Bernard Jean and Rachael Lyons from the Queensland Koala Crusaders and Noosa Landcare have provided the following information.

In January 2021, Bernard observed huge numbers of Little Reds flying north-east, seemingly from Lake Weyba and beyond. His photos (below) were taken from Gympie Terrace as the animals flew over North Shore towards Teewah.

Rachael saw them at Rainbow Beach where they were flying non-stop for almost 2 hours, beginning well before sunset. She said they were after the Pink Bloodwoods (Corymbia intermedia) in Cooloola National Park. and they were also reported from Inskip Point.

She said that the bloodwoods flower here from the second week in January to the end of February. The Little Reds fly for thousands of kilometres, arriving a few days before flowering, and have done so for millennia. Individuals have been reported following the food supply from the east-coast states, across Northern Territory into WA. Eucalypts reach their peak fertility at about 1am, and have co-evolved with their Flying Fox pollinators.
