User's notes

Single male doing laps over native grassland dominated by Bothriochloa macra, but with a low to moderate component of Rytidosperma spp and Nassella neesiana. Would not stop for a photograph so I took a habitat photo. My apologies for not having a photo, however I am quite confident in my ID having completed surveys for the species.
