Wednesday 19th February 2020. 1100 – 1205

3 mm or rain in the gauge. Overcast with occasional glimpses of the sun. Light SE breeze. Track damp. Muddy in some areas.

Thomas in a recalcitrant mood in response to being left behind when is hoomans were obliged to go to the Optometrist. Soon became tired of being pulled off my feet and stopping to untangle Thomas’s feet from his lead. Fortunately he returned to normal after threats of Naval Discipline and “Services No Longer Required”!
Spotted a distant Platypus from the Suspension Bridge but not suitable for photographs.
Opposite the Memorial Bench a fine male Eastern Water Dragon was displaying but was even better viewed from the path to the Upper Level.
White Spot the Green Ringtail Possum was almost vertically above on her high level perch and for a change Joey’s face was better displayed than Mum’s.
Another Water Dragon was on the rocks closer to Snodgrass’s Pool.
Cicadas were noisy again with several Red Roarers on the Grey Gums at Platypus Bend.
Nothing seen then until the Narrows where I photographed a Green Baron Cicada and a Saw-shelled Turtle resting on a log.
The birds nest at the Viewing Platform now seems to have been abandoned.
A group of Bush Stone-curlews were in the paddock close by and the pair of curlews were back at the East side of the Car Park.
