On a very hot late November's day the birds stayed somewhere cooler out of sight while the cicadas were out in force (another bumper year with the last being 2013).
A 'Yellow Monday Cicada' on a Terpentine Tree (Syncarpia glomulifera).
A small crop of the above.
'Redeye Cicada' on the same tree.
Small crop of the above.
I'm unsure about this one, but may be 'Black Prince Cicada' (on one of the Eucalypts).
Small crop of above.
Here's a taste of the sound of them.
