Wildlife Report

Tore myself away from the Olympics on TV to get some exercise and check out what is happening along the Creek.
Nothing to be seen at Allumbah Pocket but in one of the large trees at The Other Side I spotted another Brown Cuckoo-Dove and took a photo.
On one of the rocks in front of the Memorial Bench a Saw-shelled Turtle was taking the sun and a couple more of contrasting sizes were on the remnants of the fallen tree at Snodgrass’s Pool.
In the trees opposite the Pool a juvenile male Australian King Parrot was taking a siesta.
Nothing then until the tip of Picnic of Picnic Peninsula where a Platypus was busy feeding. I called over a family visiting from Brisbane and we watched the small female for at least 10 minutes and she was still busy when we left. Light conditions were a little tricky and there were a lot of bubbles on the surface but a few of the shots were worth keeping.
The Golden Orb-weaver Spider was still in her spot just below the Highway Bridge.
While crossing the bridge I called in on the Common Brushtail Possum in his normal roost in the bushes alongside.
