Description: I lost my glasses on the trail, so could not see properly, but this critter seems to be rubbing fluffy forelegs vigorously below the mouth. I dont know if it was grooming, or releasing a pheromone or something else entirely, but it would sit for a few minutes vibrate, walk around, vibrate, fly off to a perch about 100m-1m away and repeat the process. The sun was bright enough to see that there were only four legs, so I presume the fluffy vibrating things were forelegs, but as I said I was half blind. It ignored the pea flowers when walking around.
