The 'vigorous cold front' that moved across the state last weekend did bring some showers - didn't amount to much in terms of millilitres but it's a start - even if most of it did come down sideways, with wind gusts around 100kmh on Saturday. Haven't explored the entire 20 acres, but in the garden just this (and a lot of branches to pick up) I was told off by LW - well, in-between him feeding on protea flowers. Haven't seen the rest of the family since last report. Not entirely sure what the Silvereyes (or Scrub Wrens or Fantails) are doing in the buddlejah - no flowers or seeds at the moment - unless the leaves are producing something that attracts insects - but that's just guessing. Finally, went to visit the spider and her egg-sac. The latter seems to have changed shape - and the spider stopped guarding it for a moment to rush out onto web and perform some errand, before resuming her usual post underneath it. Size-wise she's about half as big as she appears in top picture.
