Noisy Neighbours
Leaving the back gate open provides an open invitation to arguably the noisiest night birds IN EXSISTENCE to wander around as if they own the place.
I do apologise for the “murkiness” of the photos. It’s so humid now that the lense fogs up as soon as I take it oudoors!
Bush Stone Curlew Pair (with chicks stashed by the gate) see what’s around my patio. One fell asleep by the sliding door.
Orange Footed Scrub Hens dig up my re-planted chilli plants if they can. That damn bandicoot digs them up each night and tosses them on the lawn. He performed that endearing trick on the passionfruit vine each night until I built a brick pyramid around it’s base. If I have to do that with each new plant I may as well concrete the garden beds!
Gotta run, that’s more lightening and thunder heading my way. Fingers crossed for buckets of rain - all on that bandicoot!

Sounds like badicoot and fat butt wallaby make a good pair of vandals. I also have a scrub turkey joining in the fun. I always thought birds went to bed with the sun until I heard the plovers and curloos around here, plus the kookas start before the sun is up, but it is all better than traffic noise. Sounds like the big hot summer is coming at you, take care, keep cool.
Now I would be frustrated…I get annoyed when my dogs dig up my new plants…
We had a thunder storm the other night…A little rain but more noise than anything….
You can have your humidity, I definitely would not survive…..
Those scrub hens drive me mad! Any new plants dug up in no time, and all that lovely compost gets scratched off the plants and all over the pathways. I saw a TV show where the gardener used tent pegs to pin down palm fronds on the ground to stop the scrub hens and bush turkeys scratching up the plants. Seemed to work ok though I haven’t tried it yet. Just spent 7 hours cleaning up the garden and taking ute loads to the tip, maybe I should have been tent-pegging!
Where’s a python when you need one……..
