Wednesday 2nd October 2019. 1340-1435.

No rain. Cloudy with sunny periods. Southerly breeze. Track dry.

Saw nothing until the approach to the Log Jam where we saw our first Platypus moving downstream. Obviously not warm enough for Turtles as only one was present and quickly toppled into the water as we approached. A second Platypus was sneaking down the near bank on the upstream side of the peninsula and provided a few photo chances. A mother Green Ringtail Possum and joey were once again occupying the favourite spot in No 4 of the Overhanging Bushes and a Platypus was observed close by as I showed them to a family with 2 young children visiting from England. Thomas enjoyed a pat and ear tickle. Not a very busy day.

Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus

Near the Log Jam. I think the same moth eaten female as seen yesterday.
Male Platypus in no hurry but moving towards the Log Jam. Probably looking for female shown above!
Not keen on staying still and hence difficult to photograph.

Green Ringtail Possum. Pseudochirax archeri

Mum & joey on usual perch at Overhanging Bushes.
