Chilly, but a beautiful sunny morning. No wind. Track dry.

Most birds, beasts and persons appeared to have stayed in bed this morning as saw only 2 people 2 Platypus and a Figbird. A very photogenic platypus travelling between Picnic Bend and The Narrows and the second made a cameo appearance under the Highway Bridge. A cheeky Australasian Fig Bird was making a lot of noise on the topmost bamboo shoot next to the car park. I rather like today’s offering!

Having a really good scratch!
Ooo! That’s the bit I’ve been trying to reach!
