One bothered to stop from its task of batting about like a mad thing insearch of a female, nice to see them out and about again

Thanks David - I was hoping for a big year for this species - but hasn't happened yet

I agree, maybe it needs a year of recovery, the wet weather we are having now may not be helping the adults as they do their business. There are reasonable numbers of males in the general vecinity of this record now
