Friday 25th October 2019. 1100 – 1210

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.

Saw-shelled Turtle. Elseya latisternum

This is definitely a popular log!

Green Ringtail Possum. Pseudochirax archeri

Trying to hide herself.
Not sure if this view is any better.
Don”t think there is another angle we could try.

Rufous Fantail. Rhipidura rufifrons

Obtained by taking a lucky shot in high contrast conditions against the light!

Spectacled Monarch. Symposiachrus trivirgatus

Taken within 3 metres of the previous image in similar conditions.

Bush Stone-curlew. Burhinus grallarius

Relaxed family group among the flowers.
