Hi all
This is not bird related at all, but I nevertheless wanted to share it with
you.
Yesterday coming home (Waikerie, SA) around 11 pm myself and my wife
witnessed what can only be explained to be a rare occurrence of the southern
light, or aurora australis. Part of the night sky was orange-reddish,
curtain-drape shaped, and constantly changing in shape, color and density.
For the rest it was a crystal clear night, a bit windy and chilly.
Having seen the northern light once in the northern hemisphere, I knew what
I was looking at. It lasted for around 10-15 minutes and I managed to take some
photos but am not sure about the result. It was an amazing experience (and no I
wasn't drunk or anything!)
I had a look around on the internet and it appears quite a rare
phenomenenon - we're 1000s of kms away from the antarctic, for a start - I
wonder if anyone else saw it?
Cheers
Peter Waanders
