A strange event involving bats and a huge flock of birds has taken place on Magnetic Island . The fruit bats, also known as Flying Foxes, in large numbers, moved into trees in a leafy part of Picnic Bay , much to the annoyance of nearby residents. An eyewitness informed Little Darwin of the recent subsequent amazing development which saw the bats under attack , like a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock horror film, The Birds . A large flock of birds , easily numbering 100, consisting of screeching Cockatoos, loud Kookaburras and raucous Currawongs , began to assemble near the bat colony.They flew away, came back in force and dive bombed the flying floxes like terrifying German Stukas , causing them to flee the area . Yippee !!! shouted the nearby residents.
