User's notes
The Neon Cuckoo Bee was sighted some distance away across a garden, flying backwards and forwards just above the grass, possibly looking for other bees' nests. It was very wary and kept its distance hence poor quality images, provided for record purposes. The final image gives some indication of the challenge with the bee being in the centre of the image. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
