Bats invade the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia - 29 Feb 2008

It is census time in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens.But it is not humans who are being counted. It is the furry winged invaders that occupied the green sanctuary during the drought and have turned it into their inner-city squat. A year ago, said Tim Entwisle, the executive director of the Botanic Gardens Trust, it was thought the gardens were home to about 11,000 grey-headed flying foxes. Now, he suspects, there could be twice that many. "They are slowly trashing the place," he said. Branches have been breaking under their weight and their urine and droppings have been poisoning plants. "They are destroying the palm grove," said Dr Entwisle. "They are killing the trees. We have had 12 trees die and 45 are on the critical list. A couple on the critical list were planted in the 1820s."Although the new count, being undertaken by volunteers, will not be completed for several weeks, Dr Entwisle expects it will confirm that previous estimates of the flying fox population have been wildly underestimated. Among trees under threat is a flowering ash that was almost killed by the drought.In the 1990s, flying fox numbers were dramatically reduced by staff bashing metal lids, frightening the animals away. Now the gardens trust is seeking government permission to resume the evictions, possibly using mobile loud speakers on buggies to disturb them. Dr Entwisle said the evictions, if approved, would probably not begin until autumn next year, after the next breeding season. "The welfare of the flying foxes is important to us."
