Has anyone else seen signs of this cool summer throwing plants/animals off
track?  I have a cyclamen (winter flowering pot plant) start flowering in
past few days, and my Boston Ivy on the east wall has turned autumn auburn
in colour.  I saw a couple of male roos jousting on Sunday, and usually
associated that with autumn behaviour.  Guess I could be wrong there.

It proves that a male bower bird really wants to Œbreed' and is prepared to
put a of of effort into his girl-trap.
But does COG regard that as a breeding record or only a hopeful wannabe?
