Well....I think it's just about time to put the wellies away and bring out the thongs. I know it's only early August but nature seems to be saying hot weather is coming early. The Pacific Black Ducks and the Wood Ducks paired up some weeks ago. Same with the Plovers and they've been swooping on any one intruding onto their patch of ground. Then there are the scaly wriggle sticks who have also made an appearance.

I think it might be a wet one. Not a pelican to be seen around these parts. When big rains are on the way, the Pelicans go west, all the way to nesting grounds. Happened before the 2011 floods, and it's an aboriginal observation. However we've been in lockdown and I've only been along the beachfront, so they could all be over at Redcliffe, at the Co-op.[smilebigeye]

Never seen a snake first week of August around here before.
Back in July last year it was a freezing cold day with a bitter southerly blowing. Wind chill factor was high. Pooch and I were crossing some mown park land and were startled to see we'd disturbed a snake. It was a recently shed black. It took off with a great turn of speed heading back to the rocks some ten metres away where I guess it called home. To see an active snake lying in ankle long grass and moving so quickly on such a cold day rewrote
my book of snake knowledge.
It's not unusual to see Copperheads out and about over winter but they generally don't panic when we quietly walk past them. They are usually right beside the place they call home.....never any distance from home.

funny isn't it?
a lot of people reckon its a cold winter but average temps Australia wide point to the opposite'
most areas of Australia are experiencing slightly higher temperatures day and night.
it has been a little windier though and in many cases a bloody lot windier.
adiabatic and katabatic winds do change localised temperatures while just up or down the road it can be significantly different.
global warming and ocean level rising are definitely having an effect .
ask a fridgie.....if you have a cold zone , there has to be a hot one and vice versa

I live in a very treed area and there was a nest of Butcher Birds in a big Turpentine just off my property.
Well I befriended the female and the chick and they would eat out of my hand , and the male would come about 2 metres away and I would throw him mince balls.
BUT that bastard would always attack me if I had breakfast on the deck. I painted "moon Eyes" on my hat yet he would still attack me from behind.
I came back from a trip once and was changing the water tank on my camper trailer and he went my feet which were sticking out from under the trailer over and over and were in thongs.
Luckily they have moved over the road now, but they will still come when I call them.
I have a friend whose granddaughter was attacked by one and lost the sight of one eye.

DM, we hit 30.1° here, at noon. I'm hoping for some rain, as the westerlies we had last week, have really dried things out. Have the 150 litre spray tank in the atv and have started supplementary watering of the fruit trees, ornamentals and rain forest trees. It's good for applying the Charlie Carp too.

The promised rain had so far failed to arrive, so we booked a water truck for next week.
Murphy's Law being infallible, it has just started raining. I won't be cancelling the water truck though. The rain is a bonus. More is better.

Saw the dark clouds up your way. We had about fifty, large drops. I reckon your lot would have been short and sweet, too.[bigsad]

Very strange!
Last week we had dark clouds, high humidity & several showers of rain.
It is only September, we usually don't get any rain at all until late October at best & then it is proper storms.
Also we have had 3 Morning Glories (no, not that!), 1 in August & 2 this month, never seen one before October in 30 odd years here.
Usually the Dry here is just that, DRY. The Wet could be anything, the only guarantee is bloody HOT.
Funny weather so far.

It's so nice and warm here in Brisbane that I am think of wearing thin summer socks with my flip flops. [bigrolf]

Socks or frocks? You'd look a bit strange with socks and flip flops. [tonguewink]

Just been out for a ride - icy, sideways rain squalls, BOM says "7.1 feels like 3.6". Had to change my gloves because windproof ones got soaked.

I just saw a nice recipe for Lemon Myrtle and Chilli Mud Crab. Now, I'm quite prepared to send some Myrtle up to you, if you could throw me a couple of muddies. They're few and far between here, at the moment.

I just heard a very loud 'Ker-thump' in the gully behind the house. A large tree, no doubt. More bushfire fuel or wildlife habitat, however you view it. I'm hoping there were no bird nests in it, as it is that time of year!

Clear and sunny 15c here with a cool breeze.
Cloudless days and desert nights cools it down pretty rapidly.
Won’t be long and it’ll be high 30s to low 40s.

So where is here - you have N/A in your location so it is a bit hard to work out where here is.
