Nature in action.

[gemfyre]

I just went outside to load up my car (housesitting for a few days), and noticed swallows swooping around the place.  Hardly ever see swallows outside our place so that was kinda weird.  Then I noticed a pair of singing honeyeaters hopping around in the driveways.

Then I looked closer and found the reason for these strange occurances.

Flying ants.  The birds always go nuts when they're around.  It's great to watch.

It's a tad early for flying ants, yes? I wish I'd been home to see it - I would have taken the boys out!

Flying ants scare the bejesus outta me. *runs in with pom poms* 'Go Sparrows go!'
