Monday 2nd December 2019. 1100 – 1200

No rain. Sunny with scattered cumulus clouds. Intermittent breeze to 10 knots. Track dry. Water level steady.

Mother Green Ringtail Possum was waiting to show off her joey at Allumbah Pocket today. She had changed position slightly, bringing her very close to Lloyds Suspension Bridge with an almost unobstructed view. As is my wont, I chatted to her while I took photographs and she seem to follow everything I said. Magic!
As Thomas and I walked down the hill to the Memorial Bench an Orange-footed Scrubfowl flew across the creek. Looked for Dragons but none present today. Another Green Ringtail Possum, this time a male. was in the tree opposite Snodgrass’s Pool. On to the Log Jam where the only Turtle present was a minute Saw-shelled. A Rakali put in a brief appearance in the downstream pool.
Saw another Rufous Shrikethrush at Picnic Peninsula and the Golden Orb-weaver was still in her web by the Highway Bridge. Half a dozen Bush Stone-curlews were in the area behind the Car Park. All the extended family of Australasian Figbirds appeared to be present with most of the work being done by the girls.
