User's notes
I chased the grey and white bee fly for ages without photo success even though it gave plenty of warning when near with buzzing. Had to made do with these photos of a tiger coloured one. the black, grey and white one is the last photo. Different species or male and female of the same? Haven't seen any since on the NSW coast.
