Jon Sullivan on Nostr: Ōtautahi-Christchurch is finally starting to feel like summer, with the cicadas ...
Ōtautahi-Christchurch is finally starting to feel like summer, with the cicadas turning up the volume from the trees.
On Thursday I was reminded that we've now got three large, loud cicada species calling in the city. They all sound distinctly different when you get your ear in.
One is a recent arrival from the North Island and so far is only along the coast of the city.
I've put recordings of each in the following posts.
