No rain. Misty morning clearing to bright sun in cloudless sky. No breeze. Track drying.

Thomas and I both a bit frazzled this morning having been stung multiple times during and after after another episode of bee wrangling. Forced to exit property via back gate as front garden uninhabitable at present! Noticed a Brown Honeyeater along Bunya Street and photographed in case dearth of other photos occurred. This proved not to be the case as the Green Ringtail Possum with joey, now out of the pouch, were in the tall trees right at the entrance to Allumbah Pocket. Enjoyed watching them with a couple who happened to be passing and who followed us along the track. No Dragons were at the usual location.
A female Leaden Flycatcher was observed eating her breakfast near Flood Tide Island. No Turtles today but the Pacific Black Ducks were on the upstream side of Log Jam Peninsula.
A second Green Ringtail Possum looking rather disheveled as if she had got wet recently was roosting in No 4 of the Overhanging Bushes. Her pouch looked well filled but no joey was seen.
An Eastern Water Dragon was seen across the Creek from the Viewing Platform and another two in the paddock behind while photographing distant Bush Stone-curlews.
Plenty of activity at the Figbird Commune but not a lot to photograph. A busy Orange-footed Scrubfowl emerged from a garden at the Bunya Street turn around.
