Wildlife Report

I left home a bit later this morning in the hope of seeing more of the reptiles and perhaps a Platypus.
Along Bunya Street there were a number of White-headed Pigeons in the trees, one of which provided a good close-up.
At Allumbah Pocket a team of men were clearing undergrowth from around a nearby power pole with two chainsaws running at full blast.
In spite of this, “Mrs Green” the Green Ringtail Possum was sitting quietly in one of the trees between the two entrances and as ever looking at me without any concern. Wild animals are amazing!
At The Other Side there was no activity on the Catbird’s nest and no more Possums.
At Horseshoe Rocks I snapped an Eastern Water Dragon while another was seen on the rocks opposite Snodgrass’s Pool.
“Whitespot” the other female GRP was looking quite smug as she had reclaimed her usual roost in the River Cherry tree.
Several more White-headed Pigeons were seen along Log Jam Peninsula while above the concrete slab opposite the tip an Eastern Water Dragon was enjoying the sun.
Next to the Evodia tree at the base of the Peninsula the Golden Orb-weaver Spider was again photographed.
Near No 2 of the Overhanging Bushes the local Green Ringtail Possum had moved his roost to a dense mass of foliage so his photo is of rather poor quality.
A couple of small Bats were again photographed under the Highway Bridge.
From the Car Park I spoted a Curlew at Nick’s Camping Area and on approaching I could see the pair of them enjoying their Bower!
I crossed the road as usual but no Tree Roos were seen although the Spotted Catbird was again sitting on her nest.
The Coppery Brushtail Possum was in the Fig Tree but refusing to acknowledge my presence.
The Bunya Street Curlews were today half way up our neighbours drive in a nice family group.
As I walked up our drive a juvenile Brushturkey took off from the bushes alongside.
