Close-up photos by Pat Feehan. 3 of the photos show a few LRFFs in the same trees as GHFF. Mostly the LRFFs are in separate trees, usually lower to the ground than the GHFFs. Several Silver Wattles are so weighed down with LRFFs that from a distance the trees look pure brown. Thousands in the camp.
UPDATE: 25/2/24: now that most of the GHFFs have gone, the bat camp is in 3 Silver Wattles close to the River. The bats are very densely packed as usual. About 600 in the camp. The audio file has Kookaburras in the background for part of the recording. The Kookas flew past the LRFFs and upset them, that's how I got the recording.
Audio obtained using my iPhone with Rode Reporter app. Edited with Audacity software.

Bird heard calling from dense foliage of a pine tree at Ouyen Golf Course at about 5:45 AM. Call was being repeated at intervals of about 30-40 seconds, possibly in response to a distant bird that was making the same call. Eventually a small to medium sized bird (e.g. cuckoo, honeyeater) flew from the tree, but in the poor early light I couldn't see any detail.

This eucalypt( species unknown) had prolific leaf galls, and these strange things , which might perhaps be gumnuts also affected by gall wasps? Normal young flower buds can be seen next to them. Sizes varied, up to 1.5 cm for the largest ones.

I'm not 100% sure the second photo is of the same bird (but I highly suspect this). The audio track is definitely from the one with brown back.
