A bat colony in regional Victoria has exploded to a record size, with some residents afraid they will be defecated on by one of nearly 38,000 grey-headed flying foxes while walking through the city's premier park.
Cleaners are being deployed to Bendigo's Rosalind Park on weekdays as the city council tries to cater for a flying fox population that has expanded by more than 3,000 per cent in three months.
Jonathan Ridnell has lived in Bendigo for more than 30 years and uses the park less now the population has grown so big.
