Flying foxes

[Nick Payne <>]

All the ones I've seen around our place (Griffith) have been Grey-headed 
Flying Foxes, which are the size you describe. They've been coming in 
every night to feed in our fig tree for the last few weeks.
I also saw a dead Grey-headed Flying Fox in Hackett last year, hanging 
from some power lines.
