User's notes
A lone male Carpenter bee was sighted in ANBG's Section 219, patrolling a large bush at high speed for around 10 minutes. No females were seen during this time. These are poor quality images taken with a telephoto lens of a very fast moving bee. The sighting is provided to add to the distribution record of this endangered species.
