Fruit bat flies over the Sydney skyline at dusk

A fruit bat flies over the Sydney skyline at dusk December 31, 2010. The bats, also known as Flying foxes, are considered a pest by some and various efforts have been made to move thousands of them from their roost in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens where officials accuse them of killing historic trees.
