User's notes

Saw a small group of 6 (3 male, 3 female) feeding on some eucalyptus blossoms. They flew off shortly after I took the pictures.

Thanks for the sighting some research lead by Laura Rayner has found that planted and remnant Blakley's Red Gum are preferred forage trees within the urban environment
