Felt I needed to get out after a morning spent battling with a stubborn computer. Thomas getting old and tired or just lazy but declined the opportunity to come with me.
Nothing seen at Allumbah Pocket or the Other Side.
An Eastern Water Dragon seen at Horseshoe Rock but as usual difficult light conditions.
A better and more approachable specimen was waiting opposite Snodgrass’s Pool while at the Upper Level on the opposite side of the path was the large Scar Faced Dragon as featured in my last Post.
A total of 7 Saw-shelled Turtles were at The Log Jam, some of them being photographed including one on a submerged log.
At Picnic Peninsula a very relaxed Orange-footed Scrubfowl wandered along the path in front of me and appeared to enjoy posing.
No Platypus seen but an interesting specimen observed from the Highway Bridge. From a distance it looked very like a Platypus and I think that it could be descried in anglo-german as a Flatyfuss!
Missing the Possums I checked out the Fig Tree overhanging the vacant block next to The doctor House and was pleased to find a Green Ringtail Possum is residence but it was rather a bum view.
Final sighting of the day was a Bush Stone-curlew across the road from us in Bunya Street. No sign of the other half or the chick.
