With Wings On Their Fingers

Written and illustrated by Pamela Conder

This engagingly written book relates Pamela's adventures while pursuing her studies into flying fox behaviour. The book contains much useful information on the biology of flying foxes, written in a way which can easily be appreciated by the layperson.

Pamela vividly describes her experiences capturing flying foxes in the Torres Strait Islands, studying the captive population of grey headed flying foxes at Healesville Sanctuary, poring over flying fox skins in the museums of Europe and slogging through sewers in Hong Kong seeking elusive specimens.

Pamela's beautiful paintings and line drawings of flying foxes and the other creatures which share their habitat complement the text perfectly.
