I have seen a few. How many would you expect?

Mike - Usually at least 10 come up under the blue gums on the track behind Glasgow St Hughes, but there are none there so far this year. There are usually a few on Section 57 in the Hughes Public Open Space too but have not seen any. I have only seen two this season, both on the Federal Golf Course lease, despite keeping an eye out for them.
