User's notes
Quite a few flying around, mixed in with Zizina otis and Erina Hyacintha. Flying quite fast and low to the ground, perching on shrubs. Bursaria in gullies nearby, site at top of hill. I'll be buying a proper camera soon...

Nothing to be disappointed about, you've picked up some nice sightings to date. Suggest a bit late now for the PC's (fly early in the season).
