User's notes

A species I was not expecting to find at this location as I believed its range did not extend this far south. I found this one by accident when it flew out of a Banksia integrifolia and hit me in the head. A search of the adjacent area led to the sighting of 6 more individuals (all sitting high on the branches of B. integrifolia trees) but I could hear several more calling that I could not sight.
