A thread for discussing the wild, whacky and utterly mundane of life in our isolated corner of the planet.

      I like it. I know lots of people don’t, but I much prefer 30-40 over rain. I know we need rain and I’m all about getting it and getting it over and done with - returning to the warm. 🔅

        I live in a pretty bushy area of Perth, and because of my interest in it, i suppose i’m alert to the changes and pressures on the animals and plants i see around me.

        Every summers a bit rough on the wildlife, this summer i’ve had a small goanna/lizard die, a couple small birds, and a baby bird fall from its nest strangled by the plastic fibres the parent had made the nest from.

        3 out of 4 of those i suspect heat had a lot to do with the deaths, i suppose the bird chick might have been different.

        This is of course only atbmy house, plenty of others dead by the roadside as i go around.

        So thats why i’m always a bit fanatical about the cooler weather, seems stuff dies less.
