There were also Montane Ochre blundering arround on them feeding away and getting covered in pollen, plus a few other things which I'm getting to.

A good sighting. Pimelea linifolia is now coming into flower locally eg Black Mtn and ANBG. The list of visitors is slowly growing. I wonder if there are nocturnal visitors?
