Friday 6th December 2019. 1030 – 1130

Very light shower yesterday afternoon. Sunny. Scattered cloud. NW to NE breeze to 10 knots. Track dry.

All the action seems to be at the northern end of the walk at present although nothing at Allumbah Pocket. Thomas and I spotted two Eastern Water Dragons between the Memorial Bench and Snodgrass’s Pool, one male and one female. No Possums immediately visible but after snooping around the general area found a single Green Ringtail Possum in one of the smaller trees on the upper level. Another new spot!
No Platypus again today, no Turtles and no Spiders. Did manage to photograph a Scarlet Honeyeater at Platy’s Pool and a Spectacled Monarch at Picnic Peninsula. A couple of Curlews and Australasian Swamphens could be distantly seen in the paddock. While checking them out met a group of Russian tourists with a guide and pointed them in the direction of the possum while Thomas enjoyed a pat and stroke! The Figbird chick appears to be still hungry and shouting for mother. Another male Figbird was found sitting on his nest.
