The remote Um Island in Indonesia is home to thousands of bats which are seen hanging from trees in this footage filmed on July 5.
According to local residents, the island of Um has indeed been a habitat for thousands of bats and seagulls since time immemorial. After the bats leave, seagulls come and perch at sunset.
The existence of thousands of bats in the afternoon makes Um Island a popular tourist destination.
Visitors also enjoy the beauty of the beach with white sand and the clarity of the seawater.
Elbert Mobalen, a local tourism coordinator, said: "After the bats leave in the afternoon until the evening to find food, seagulls then arrive. They take turns."
