Significant sighting
User's notes
At least 5 butterflies. In an open area surrounded by small silver wattles and some taller gums. Other plants included burgen and a small amount of bursaria, none of it very tall. Soil was mostly covered with poa and low plants but generally gravelly (eroded granite?). No ants seen on the bursaria. I have additional photos of surrounding vegetation if wanted.
