Perth WA, Australia (Google, OSM)

Description

One year they were there between November and February. Other years they were found over a much shorter time period. They would often sit under Adenanthos cygnorum shrubs and take off and buzz us to try and scare us away. I couldn’t see anything they were protecting. Maybe it was their territory.
