User's notes

A follow up sighting to 4356595. The first four images show a male patrolling the bushes looking for a female to mate with. The final image shows a female having arrived at the bushes just before taking off with the male close behind. Not the best images as taken with a telephoto lens of a fast moving male bee that was constantly on the move.
