Saturday 25th January 2020. 0915 – 1000

25 mm in gauge overnight. Steady rain easing to continuing very light to light drizzle. Solid cloud cover. No breeze. Track wet with puddles in places, esp. Under Overhanging Bushes, base of Picnic Peninsula and under Highway Bridge. Path from Highway down under bridge is slippery and needs care. Boots not required but don’t wear your best white trainers.

Left dogs at home this morning and set out wearing oilskin jacket and hat and carrying waterproof camera. Images will be of lower quality than usual.
Water level much the same as yesterday with colour brown rather than red.
Drew a blank at Allumbah Pocket and across Lloyd’s Suspension Bridge.
White Spot the Green Ringtail Possum was in her high level perch this morning with little detail to be seen.
It was not warm enough for the Eastern Water Dragons but surprisingly two Saw-shelled Turtles were on display at the Log Jam.
Club Foot the Brush Turkey was at Platy’s Pool close to where we saw him yesterday.
A Platypus was at The Narrows, very close to the Highway Bridge and would have got some good shots with my regular camera.
Plenty of Magpie Geese in the Paddock with a few Australasian White Ibis and Swamphens.
The pair of Bush Stone-curlews had moved back to Nick’s Camping Area,
