Apologies, Alison. I hadn't noticed that the list was for the Canberra and Southern Tablelands. I didn't realise that I was linked to that list. I had been getting observations from the Southern Tablelands Ecosystem Park at the Arboretum, which this wasn't. My mistake.

@RogerH Roger, Location is correct. I was on a Field Nats trip in the Brindabellas looking for an elusive bee.
