User's notes

A number of these, and they would fly into a flower, curl around the stamen (?), buzz for a second or two and fly off. Very fast, and difficult to photograph. But may be the same species as Tim's sighting #4237669 (though in a different part of the Gardens). Definitely collecting lots of pollen!
