Hell.....

How could a day start so nice.................

sunrise was spectacular to the east............

and to the west the full or almost full moon was setting............

EDIT this shows the temp in the Chookshed this morning it was 48........

Its been over 41.9 since 9.30 this morning currently 46.4  ............ with the most terrible wind.............the poor birds in the garden are struggling once again.....yesterday was 45.4 but not windy like today just breezy.........

I have hundreds and hundreds of birds seeking refuge in the garden............

the garden is fried............lawn not too bad but everything else looking burnt.........

This is just some...........i have seen about 50 at once of magpies, 100 grass parrots...........so many birds all hanging out together and only the magpies don't play fair..............

Some of the other birds around Gulahs, Cockatoos, Crested Pigeons, Eastern Rosella, Mallee Ringnecks. Tawny Frog Mouth, Kookaburras, Sacred kingfished, Black faced Cockoo-shrike, Willie Wagtail, Yellow Rumped Thornbill, Noisy Minor, White Winged Choughs, Apostle Birds, Magpie Lark aka Peewee, Magpies, White faced Babbler, Grey Butcher Bird, Crows

Also a couple more I can't identify........

Don't tell me to stay cool as it is difficult in these temps............I keep going out to check my chooks and I have one little spray on for the birds in the garden and one in the chookyard for the chooks and more birds...............

It will cool soon hopefully but we have to make it thru catastrophic fire conditions for a few more hours before it cools down...............lets hope we have no more fires in NSW as crews are working in terrible conditions as it is and thinking of the farmers being burnt out near Leadville as we speak with the fire out of control and currently burn................

We have set a new February maximum temp record...........

Catch you later................
