Wildlife Report.

Numerous doves around today, a Brown Cuckoo-Dove and a Bar-shouldered Dove being photographed along Bunya Street.
At Allumbah Pocket the Chocolate Brush Tailed Possum was in the Mistletoe Clump near the Picnic Table and choosing today to show her face.
At The Other Side a couple of Fairy Gerygones were in the tree which overhangs the Picnic Table but were too busy to pose. I did however get another shot of a Brown Cuckoo-Dove.
Much of the fallen tree has now been removed from Snodgrass’s Pool depriving the Turtles of one of their sunbathing spots.
Saw-shelled Turtles were seen in abundance in several areas of the creek particularly in the region of Flood Tide Island with one at The Log Jam providing a variety of shots.
There was a singular lack of Green Ringtail Possums on view today.
At Stringers Stretch a number of tourists were watching a Platypus which was remaining stubbornly along the far bank. It did eventually venture closer to the near bank and I was unable to obtain a few good views.
Just below the Highway Bridge I again took photos of the Golden Orb-weaver spider.
The Brushtail Possum was still in residence near the centre of the Bridge but was an even worse mood.
