The art is dying out and you see less and less fishermen out there, a lot of empty stilts. Thanks for viewing Douglas!

Real nice set there. The first bat is awesome...
The Bats were quite a site and very difficult to shoot, kind of erratic flyers. They have up to five foot wing spans
Fruit Bat in tree aka flying foxes

Thanks for viewing Angler! The fruit Bats are also known as flying Foxes not flying squirrels. I had another senior moment.
