Hottest Day In Sydney Today On Record 45.8 Degrees!

I saw more dead birds today on a short walk with Stevie than I'd normally see in six months :(

Two corella, a sulphur-crested cocky, an Indian mynah, a young maggie and a small black-and-white that may have been a baby wagtail.

We have a fair bit of beak and feather disease here and of course birds die but normally the cats and other predators clean up carcasses early. There must have been so much death yesterday.

I always stop and think about the cockies. If they've lived their full span, what an amazing world they've dealt with since 1900 ish!

Very civilised this morning yesterday was lovely too though I think it will heat up again next week. In the middle of winter I will be screaming for summer but right now - bring on the snow I am over summer. :rofl:

I live in Penrith and it was sooooo hot out there! I left work early to get home to my Frenchie who was inside the house which was cool. We have air con but couldnt lock her inside all day. But leaving work early was a struggle because its a 25 minute car ride and my car has no air con, it felt like it was 55 degrees in my car! It was torture! Was so glad to get home and get inside the house!

One of my Maremmas ate a pretty bird the other day. Those blue and red ones. I wondered how he caught it, but now think perhaps it was already dead or weak from the heat. It's the second one I've caught him eating. :(
