User's notes
Initially saw a few over on the eucalypts on Jenke Circuit and watched them fly across Athllon Drive. Drove around there and found them drinking at a puddle, then flying back across Athlllon Drive. After a while they flew back to the trees near the puddle, then to another eucalypt and then back to leaveless tree next to Athllon Drive to soak up some sun. They eventually flew down to the eucalypts beside the silt trap
