User's notes

saw something flying around the low grey mistletoe so I went into the thick red leafed wattle in front for a look, changed lens, and tried my best to get pics of these tiny bees. First time I've seen the bubble effect - it was a bit like bubble gum - small then big. Guess at species. Don't think I've seen this species before. Almost licked an Eastern Spinebill - if it had poked its head out I would have had a nice shot on the macro lens!
