Wow! How did you shoot this?

In my part of the world, people shoot flying foxes with shot guns – and cook to eat afterwards, apparently good for the libido. LOL! Have not tried, though.
Adam Gormley replied

Hehe, I have well over 500 failed shots, this one I got lucky.. With so many flying over, I knew I had to get it sometime :)
