Yup, back to "the bush" today - the kunzeas planted by the council. The flowers are a bit smaller but still plenty of them. I was just standing there taking pics of a butterfly when I noticed this fly come in a little further along. Best pics I've had of this species. I think I got one last year or the year before at Castle Crk Rd in wodonga (with grass in behind). Its soooo pretty.
