~13.5mm long
Found in Senna artemisioides.
Found 4, 2 in each bush, but only managed to capture one from each.
They quickly dropped off onto the ground when felt threatened.
Also seems to have a metalic blue body.

It was tiny and landed on my shirt. As an indication of size the weave is of a normal tight weave cotton t shirt.

Evidence of a Megachile sp. (Leaf-cutter Bee) collecting material from a cultivated Hardenbergia violacea (white flower) ... OR... Someone has had fun with a variable hole-punch 🥰
Curious - what distance would the Bee travel to collect nesting material?
And which possible Megachile species are leaf-cutters here in the Adelaide Hills?

Record is for the duck being held by the woman in the black jumper. This duck was released immediately after the comparison photos were taken.
The other two are PBD x mallard hybrids, caught as part of dumped domestic mallard removal efforts by the Pacific Black Duck Conservation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pacificblackduckconservationgroup
The first photo's hybrid has a green/yellow bill (harder to see in this photo), patchy facial markings, and legs are a little bit too orange. This one also had white trims above the speculum.
The female in the second and third photos:
Mainly the lower face stripes and cheeks that are different. Both sexes should look like the pure one, a thinner stripe, and Cleary defined cream face patches. The hybrid’s cheek cuts into the cream patch while the pure’s continues to the back of the neck. The hybrid's eye stripe doesn’t surround the eye, which we see a lot with hybrid ducklings. Her crown was a bit too streaked for a female.
Hybrids uploaded separately:

This tiny fella was observed at the top of a 5mm diameter bamboo stick. (The cut section is also exactly 5mm down from the top).
I observed the spider lifting one of its 3rd pair of legs (rhs) in the air and wave it around once. It was then I went & grabbed the camera. Sadly he refused to face the camera lens head-on. 😔 I thanked him for his time anyway.

These 2 were performing a mating dance (both splaying their back feathers) but our proximity interrupted them.
