Wildlife Report

At Allumbah pocket I found with difficulty a Green Ringtail Possum hiding in the dense foliage to the right of the main entrance. I suspect that this was “Mrs Green” but definite identification was not possible.
A Pale-yellow Robin visited me again while I was seeking “Nosey” near the Old Boiler Shed.
On arrival at The Other Side, several Brown Gerygones were foraging in the tree to the right of the Bridge and I managed to obtain a couple of images, one of which was particularly unusual!
In the trees near the B&B Gate “Nosey”, another Green Ringtail was roosting in an open location but I only found her after a couple of visitors reported her presence!
At Snodgrass’s Pool I found what I believe was “Whitespot”, again very well concealed in a tree up the informal path opposite the Pool sign. Positive identification was again impossible.
On to Log Jam Peninsula where I spotted a Platypus heading upstream and followed her in company with one of the visitors.
We lost sight of her at the Jam but did see a tiny juvenile Saw-shelled Turtle on a floating tree branch.
A collection of four much larger Turtles were on the sloping log near No 3 of the Overhanging Bushes.
A second Platypus was seen at Stringers Stretch and delighted the visitors although she remained stubbornly too far away to satisfy me!
At the Highway Bridge I took shots of a Golden Orb-weaver Spider and another distant view of the Large-footed Fishing Bats.
“Tatty” the Coppery Brushtail Possum was showing part of her back and one ear from the Fig Tree.
