Trying to predict the weather is difficult , especially when you look about for signs in nature that indicate a change is on the way . Right now, there are conflicting signs- Desert Rose seedpods are bursting open, the contents blown about like puffballs, below , attracting the attention of Sunbirds , possibly as food and or soft lining for a new nest .
Rain Orchids , once more are covered in a mass of white flowers , supposed to indicate rain within a short period of time . A Curlew was photographed checking out the orchids .
The interest in the weather has been heightened since the discovery of a waterlogged bundle of newspapers relating to cyclonic rain and extensive floods in North Queensland , extracts from which will be run in the blog.
