gemfyreI forgot to put this in my last post.
This must be the official "first good rains of the season" according to nature. There were winged ants EVERYWHERE. They were all around Matt's place, then mum rang and I found that they were all around our place too, so it must have been the ants going "woohoo, weather is good, let's all find new nests and start new colonies!"
This caused the birds to have a field day. Honeyeaters, wattlebirds, peewees, a wagtail sitting in the driveway leaping up and grabbing them out of the air, a black-faced cuckoo shrike on a wire doing the same thing, doves eating dead ones off the ground. Twas very cool. :)
