Sunday 17th August 2019. 1045-1155

2 mm rain overnight. Overcast with occasional light drizzle. Track damp.

Not very inviting so set out with both dogs a little later than usual. Numerous Honey Eaters taking nectar from Bottlebrushes along Bunya St. and bird life continued along Petersons Creek bank. No possums around this morning. The odd Saw-Shelled Turtle testing the air. Fleeting glimpse of a Platypus at the Log Jam but a stalwart performer at Picnic Bend.

Scarlet Honeyeater. Myzomela sanguinolenta.

Varied Triller. Lalage leucomela.

Birds this morning not keen on classic poses at Platypus Bend.
Portraits are acceptable.

Spectacled Monarch. Symposiachrus trivirgatus.

Very handsome bird at Platypus Bend

Saw-Shelled Turtle. Elseya latisternum.

Not warm enough for sun baking.

Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus

Certainly not camera shy!
Coming back for more.
Had enough now and heading off into deeper water.
