First Cicada of the summer season

Unread post by GraemeWi »

Heard the first one today during my lunchtime walk in the Tank farm reserve. Nice to hear one of the earliest cicadas I've ever heard! To me it is a classic sign of things warming up.

Out in Little Schoal bay was a windsurfer, later when I was back at my desk two kite surfers joined him out there - they were doing some hell jumps! Looks like fun but not quite my cup of tea!

Cheers,

G

Good indication of an early summer?

I noticed that our young oak has started a few leaves compared to our young Ash. These trees to be planted at our new place in West Melton
Remember the old saying:
If the Oak is before the Ash we're in for a splash
If the Ash is before the Oak we're in for a soak

UV Indicies rising to 9 over the North Island on Friday, as we should see a combination of light winds and clear skies.
:shock: :shock:
