Thursday 8th August 2019

Bright sunny morning. No rain yesterday and hardly a cloud in the sky. Still. Few minor muddy patches on track.

Often see Magpie-Larks in garden but rarely posed in suitable location and was met by a pair near Alumbah Pocket. First half of walk very quiet and saw little until finding my regular pair of Green Ringtail Possums. They were followed by a playful platypus. The Bush Stone-Curlews had moved closer to the car park and one was in the throws of morning grooming.

Magpie-Lark – Grallina cyanoleuca

Green Ringtail Possum – Pseudochirops archeri

Platypus – Ornithorhynchus anatinus

Bush Stone-Curlew – Burhinus grallarius
