These are Australian "Grey Headed Flying Foxes" (Pteropus poliocephalus), actually a species of fruit bats, which have again taken residence in a park in town - despite the local Council's efforts to persuade them to camp in other places.
There are many thousands of them (see also PiPs) here, probably a large proportion of the total number, as the species is now are listed as "Vulnerable", largely as a result of our very extensive forest fires a few years ago. They are Australia's largest bats and live on fruits and pollen, so they migrate seasonally with food sources.

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
Je suis deux chaines sur You Tube , où de gentilles sauveteuses s'occupent des blessées , et des orphelins ( beaucoup de dégats causés par les incendies , les barbelés , les lignes électriques , les filets d'arbres fruitiers , les chiens ...) :

Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the note.

Perhaps they will find better living or feeding conditions in the park
in or around that city than in the place to which they were to be relocated?
But either way, they are fascinating creatures whose populations will hopefully recover.
