Sunday 1st September 2019. 0925-1035

No rain. Bright sunny day. Track dry.

Early start today with Jennifer and both hounds in charge. No dragons at home today as not yet warm enough. Tree Roo moved on to make room for regular Green Ringtail Possum in tree opposite Snodgrass’s Pool. Showed her to a keen photographer and partner before moving on to photo session of Platypus Patrol. Three Platypus seen today, 2 downstream of Log Jam and another in Platypus Viewing Pool where there was also a moderate sized Turtle on the bank. Mother Green Ringtail Possum and joey in favourite spot at Overhanging bushes. Plumed Whistling-ducks in usual spot upstream of Highway Bridge.
