1.5 mm rain in gauge. Overcast sky with brief periods of weak sunshine. Light breeze. Track slightly damp.
Not a very busy morning and Thomas and I saw nothing until we found a solitary Saw-shelled Turtle at the Log Jam. One Green Ringtail Possum was in No 5 of the Overhanging Bushes and not being very cooperative. Not a single Platypus to be seen. Fortunately a couple of birds appeared along the final section of the walk and although they made it as difficult as possible I managed to obtain images of them. The Bush Stone-curlews came to the rescue and presented me with a delightful picture as they took their ease in the paddock adjoining the Medical Centre.
