WAITING FOR THE SKY TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH

Dawn: relentless 40km/h winds from the west; 4 degrees; cloudlessness. Not the weather you hope for when leading a bird outing at 8:30am. At this rate, we'll be lucky to see a Brown Thornbill. They will all be blown to Braidwood! Perhaps the weather will give us a stray Grey Falcon. I live in eternal hope. LJ, June 29 2014.
