Wildlife Report

I am getting used to reporting nothing from Bunya Street and Allumbah Pocket.
Crossing the Bridge however was a different story with a selection of Saw-shelled Turtles available to be photographed.
Nothing again at the Other Side but Eastern Water Dragons were spotted on Horseshoe and the Middle Rocks.
More Turtles were photographed on the sloping log at Snodgrass’s Pool.
At Platypus Bend a Laughing Kookaburra was perched on a branch above the Creek and was very happy to have his portrait taken.
The log Jam today was resplendent with Turtles some of which were added to the collection of images.
At No 3 of the Overhanging Bushes a small male Green Ringtail Possum was hiding in the canopy but I managed to find a couple of angles from which he could just be photographed.
Another group of Turtles were seen on a log along The Narrows and on the rocks below the Highway Bridge a Turtle with a fiddle-shaped carapace was observed!
There are numerous Masked Lapwings around at present and another was snapped in the Paddock next to the Car Park.
The final sighting for the day was another Green Ringtail sitting on a high branch of the trees on the bank of the vacant block.
