Someone told me that there were lots of flying foxes in the district is that right?

I don't have district-specific counts for flying-foxes in the Sutherland Shire in my knowledge base. Flying-foxes do occur around Sydney and can roost in tall trees in various suburbs at certain times of year, with numbers fluctuating seasonally. For current local information, check updates from NSW Health or Sutherland Shire Council, and if you see injured wildlife or a large roost, contact a wildlife rescue service like WIRES. Native wildlife protection is in place in NSW, including birds and bats, so try not to disturb roosts and report concerns to the council or wildlife groups.
