Do you have 'rainbirds' etc that are fairly accurate predictors of a weather change coming?
There were little finches in Sydney that made a certain call only about an before it rained. You could bring in the washing by it. They made a totally different call at other times.
There's also a yarn in the bush areas that if you hear Kookaburras before noon there'll be a storm in the afternoon. It was pretty spot on usually.
Max and I had a bit of a 'thing' going on a forum over the yarn about Black Cockatoos leaving the inland and heading for the coast before big rain episodes and floods.
Well Max, there are flocks of them screeching and wheeling and taking up residence in the coastal trees across the paddock from here today. Haven't seen any for months. .... and the Kookas were laughin' from about 9am. None of those finches around here though.
Also the sky is very straaaange looking. That high thin milky overcast that the sun still half shines through which was always a dead cert omen for a cyclone up here when I was a kid. There's no sign of anything on the bom radar though so it'll be interesting to see how the 'omens' turn out. I'll keep ya posted on the nature versus technology predictions.
