Youre probably right Charles, but I reckon we need a bit more bush and a bit less bee.

I have added an additional photo of the bearded heath if that helps

One spelling correction...common name is Bearded Heath. Bearded as in “having whiskers”. Your pic label needs to be changed. Is this possible?

Definitely not parviflorus, as that grows on dunes, not headlands as a rule, and doesn't have the rolled under leaf margin or the long pungent point at the tip. My best guess is ericoides, but as it and its most similar species are practically impossible to tell apart even in the hand, I'm not game to confirm it.

I hope you have also put that photo up as a sighting in the Insects category. A lot of people are intersted in the relationships btween plants and pollinators.
