Friday 24th January 2020. 0915 – 1015

No rain. Sunny with cloud increasing. Light breeze NE veering NW. Track damp, drying. Water level falling slowly.

A pair of Bush Stone-curlews were in a Bunya Street garden this morning in addition to another pair at the Car Park, one of which was performing morning exercises!
The Volunteers were hard at work unloading timber at Allumbah Pocket and had to dodge around them.
No Water Dragons present today but White Spot the Green Ringtail Possum perched in her regular tree. Not much visible of Joey apart from a tail and one ear seen under Mum’s left arm.
A pair of Pacific Black Ducks were swimming slowly at Platypus Bend
Logs at the Jam continuing to emerge from the red waters and one Saw-shelled Turtle was having a sun bake.
A Platypus appeared while I was photographing the turtle and remained in the pool for 10 minutes or more although mostly at the far side. Managed however to get a few photos.
At the Overhanging Bushes a small flock of Silver Eyes were feeding on seeds and performing a few tricks.
Immediately in front of the Platypus Viewing Platform a juvenile Orange-footed Scrubfowl was scratching along the bank.
Scattered Magpie Geese were present in the Paddock with plenty of distant Curlews as well as the pair at the Car park.
