Each year, 8 million straw-coloured fruit bats migrate to Kasanka National Park in northern Zambia. For around 2 months the bats roost in a small patch of forest in the centre of the park. Each evening they head out into the surrounding forest to feed on fruit and every morning they return to the roost. At dawn and dusk the sky is filled with bats. To portray the dynamic motion of the bats shot this with a slow shutter speed.
