Description

Two fantails were heard, and then seen soon after, both hopping around a species of Rhododendron. The location was very shaded and sheltered from the moderately strong winds, perhaps the reason why they were present as fantails had rarely been seen in this location before. There was no further ecological interaction with the rhododendron, they just hopped about and not long after flew away
