Nice. First sighting of a female for Nature Mapr.

When I saw it, it was flitting around the bush beside the path, looking like it was either grabbing something from the stems or testing them as resting spots. It then swooped down and up a little closer to the main stem, and attached itself to the underside of a branch.
