Hi there Doug,

Goodness - 48C is terrible - and I thought our 45C was bad enough!

Weebills and thornbills occasionally come to our bird baths but they prefer to wait until the sprinkler is going. Then it is communal showering time, sometimes with as many as a dozen birds enjoying the spray. Of course, with our current water restrictions they have little opportunity for this delight these days.

I hope you don't mind Doug, but I've added your comments to my blog.

Happy birding - and keep cool.
