see no, hear no, speak no evil (Pteropus poliocephalus)

Variation on a proverb.
...
Three Grey-headed flying foxes.
Australia's largest bat.
...
Multiply these three by several hundred more
in the surrounding trees at the time
and you'll perhaps begin to understand why
I was so mesmerized by the moment.

That's a great picture of these dozy bats Frank. It must have been an amazing sight. We don't get anything like that in the open over here.

I love your title too - thanks lad.

After all these are bats & I wasn't wrong to think so, was I? In India we we associate that caption with three Gandhian monkeys. Super caption & shot of these wrapped up bats, Frank!! tfs.
