The kookaburras are a bit smaller and bluer on Magnetic Island compared to #Melbourne #birds #nature #Australia

@futurebird Ants walk in my pumpkin flowers so I suspect they help with pollination. Ants don't seem to eat the pumpkins themselves

@futurebird Thank you for the information:)Given I see the ants in my pumpkin flowers in a dry hot Australian summer, would they be looking for moisture?

@futurebird Interesting:)I'm not sure what type of ant - black, about 5mm long, dig burrows, not particularly aggressive. I live in Melbourne Australia and they are probably the most common type of ant here if that helps?
