Lit this to help get rid of the incessant sand flies. I then posted this photo earlier, then my neighbour came over and said there was a fire ban. I doused the fire and deleted this pic immediately after looking at the fire ban map.
The neighbour then sent the same map layout to say no we're fine. I looked again and we are not in the "red zone". Now I'm unsure if I looked at it wrong or it literally changed in the space of two minutes.
Anyway, nice enough photo.

Local ding dong takes break from standing around in middle of roads to stare dead eyed into a fire.

The bird liked the fire & so shat upon the map.

Not to be pedantic but a "Bush Stone Curlew".

I've seen birds eat the ash from campfires for calcium and mineral benefits.

That's interesting. Never heard of that. If you look close at this pic you can see where I had just moved the fire from. The bird is just about standing in the ash.

It's particularly female birds that do it during breeding season.

Did it help the sandfly situation? I’m curious.

It absolutely does help yes. It's like flicking a switch.
