I actually took that photo @SuziBond with my smart phone from inside the house, looking through the window! The new phones have really great cameras.

I'm not sure of the identity of this flowering bush, do you happen to know? On dusk it was visited by a couple of Coprosma Hawk Moths who were feeding on the nectar.
