Just behind our fireplace @asilai (nondescript village in E. UP /Azamgarh)we have this young Kadam tree (Burflower is the English common name), probably in this season it is the only tree that bears fruit which makes it bustle with all kinds of life twenty four seven , with sunset the feeding baton moves from squirrels and sparrows to nocturnal beings popular amongst them being FLYING FOX,as they jostle for space and flap their wings its gives one a very eerie feel especially with their occasional chirp and click They are camera and light shy till they actually have caught on to a Kadam fruit We constantly kept a ear on their movement occasionally trying to film ,Me and my sister got lucky on two occasions (the video is a merger of evening one and two) The guy in the cast looks pretty confident and adamant to finish his Supper,being a moonlit night helped to detect him through his wing's shadow against sky post which we moved softly towards the tree to focus first and switching on the lights later, while Aarushi kept the phone recorder on pre zoom mode always I wanted to put some voice commentary to the episode but could not Time it and my post record editing skills are still beginner level however I believe this is the best we could get with a One plus mobile camera and a crude battery operated torch light (was not a pre-planned shoot you know) P.S - Flyingfox I guess is the only flying mammal and a bird that does not breed by laying eggs and they say it eats and shits through its mouth 😟(it's a myth) , the one in video I suppose is of a Grey Headed sub-order and their head & teeth is similar to that of a 4 month old dog puppy Recording Courtesy : @_aarushi #wildlife #nocturnal #eerie #instavideo #oneplus #asilai #village #flyingfox #mammal #indianwildlife #vacation #uttarpradesh #treeoflife #instaupload (at Asilai)
