Found their way inside fruit tree netting. In haste to release them, forgot to get decent photo.

Hi Patricia, I think it's safe to call this one a Grey Headed Flying Fox as the visible body fur is grey and the distinct golden orange collar looks right. The only other option, on distribution, is a "Little Red Flying-fox with It's reddish brown body fur and less distinct collar.
