Flippin’ heck has it been warm here lately. I got up early a few days ago to photograph birds just after sunrise and it was 27ºC and a lot of the birds had already taken shelter in the deep shade. Yesterday it was 41ºC and the garden was a crispy brown and what vegetations there is was wilted. So this morning the garden sprinkler was put on. I was sent out to move the sprinkler in the back garden when I spotted some Yellow-rumped Thornbills playing in the water trying to keep cool.
