Wildlife Report
Having reached the conclusion that there is nothing to be gained by my constant whinging about the closure of Petersons Creek Walk between the Highway and Suspension Bridges I have decided to change the format of my blogs for the foreseeable future.
Creeks fortunately have two banks and as a local with good relationships with most of the residents of Bunya Street I am able to gain access to several areas of the East Bank on an occasional basis.
Armed with a powerful telephoto lens I am able to take photographs of both banks without trespassing but as this opportunity is not available to the population at large I feel that it would be unfair to detail the location of wildlife to which they have no access.
My new plan is to publish the photos without my usual preamble so that my human friends and followers can be assured that my animal friends remain alive and well in their regular habitat.
Pacific Black Duck. Anas superciliosus
Saw-shelled Turtle. Elseya latisternum
Green Ringtail Possum. Pseudochirops archeri
Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus
Golden Orb-weaver Spider. Nephila pilipes
Large-footed Fishing Bat. Myotis macropus
Eastern Water Dragon. Physignathus lesueurii
Bush Stone-curlew. Burhinus grallarius
Common Brushtail Possum. Trichosurus vulpecula
White-cheeked Honeyeater. Phylidonyris niger
All of the animals are looking healthy and well fed and I am sure that they are not missing their usual tribes of visitors at all.
