Cool this morning putting a spring in our step as we headed for Allumbah Pocket.
Unfortunately not a lot to see.
White Spot our friendly Green Ringtail Possum was in her regular tree top but in such a position that even my trained eye found her only with difficulty and as the photo shows there was hardly a distinguishing feature visible! “Blob in tree” would be the most accurate description unless you knew her well!
Nothing seen then until we came across a young man from the Czech Republic standing patiently at the base of Picnic Peninsula. Passing him I noticed some suspicious ripples a few metres upstream from his position and as he turned to resume his walk I was able to call him back to see his first Platypus. I managed a few indifferent shots before the Platypus made his way downstream hotly pursued by a delighted visitor.
Very few birds around this morning and the Paddock was empty but the Bush Stone-curlews were still at the Car Park and seem to have made up their differences.
Green Ringtail Possum. Pseudochirops archeri
Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus
Bush Stone-curlew. Burhinus grallarius
