Fruit Bat or Flying Fox in Duffy

We had some feeding in our backyard in Wanniassa a couple of weeks ago.

I am not sure if you are asking about just Duffy. Sure they are in Canberra. For most the obvious location, is the big colony in Commonwealth Park. I have had then in my GBS area several times.

Has anyone else seen on heard one in this region , late in the evening?  Sounds are light scratchy squeaking. Only one creature seen.

I also spotted what I believed to be 1 Flying Fox at Black Mountain Peninsula after the COG Barbeque was finishing.
