Spotted Pardalote suffering heat exhaustion




This poor little fellow showed up on the veranda one hot afternoon, apparently a bit overcome by the humidity, which has been exceptional for the past 6 months. Fortunately, after about 10 minutes of quiet sitting he was on his way.

Heron afternoon





This one showed up on the veranda one hot afternoon while the dog wasn't around. I was inside reading and when I went to get the camera it flew onto the bird bath, as you can see.
