I had one roosting in a wattle in my garden in Fraser for a day last week and it was receiving hell from the local currawongs. It didn’t return but I heard one just on dusk last Thursday.

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.
