Now in the middle of Winter, here the weather is unseasonably warm, around 20 to 25C. I could go on about the conditions at my place but this is not about me. It is a short story of some of the action in my garden.
As it is quite warm for this time of year, I have lots of watering points around the garden for the birds and animals that enjoy coming around the garden and house in seek of water and perhaps a snack.
This is the tale of a Lewins Honeyeater. Lewins Honeyeaters are around here almost all year round so I guess they like my garden. The flowers are not as many as in previous winters but perhaps enough to keep some birds here.
This then is what happened earlier this month
Hmmm….that looks inviting
I guess I should just dive right in
In I go
Wow that water is bracing
I better get out quick
That was a lovely quick dip
I wonder should I go in again
We have summer now, actually 19° C in Berlin, too cool, but better than the 38° C in June 🥳

Is that cool for Summer? Yes 38C is rather warm. Not looking forward to this Summer as last Summer had lots of days 40C +

August normally the hottest month in Central-Europe, normally we should be between 25-31° C, so 19° is more like Autumn. Climate very unsteady and unreliable!
