Like the pic, reminds me of the feeding frenzy that used to take place in our two fig trees before they blew down. They're nice critters but do a lot of damage.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments !
Mudder - I think the term 'he sh*t himself' comes to mind - judging from the size of the bat dropping on the ground under the tree this morning !! :)
