User's notes
I’ve had an influx particularly on the bottlebrushes. Definitely 50+ in numbers. Bogong moths I think but possibly a bit smaller than previous visitation a month ago. I’ve seem magpies and a red wattlebird congregating under the bottle brush and the wattle bird dive bombs the trees and flushes lots of the moths out, presumably to catch and eat.
