Saturday 4th January 2020. 0955 – 1100

Couple of light showers but nothing in gauge. Widespread cumulus clouds with some sunny periods. Light southerly breeze. Track drying.

Very few of my friends wished to be seen today. Perhaps they know something which we don’t. Two Eastern Water Dragons were on the rocks near the Memorial Bench and they were the only animals seen.
The flowering trees were almost devoid of insects including the Christmas Beetle although a few could be seen flying around the treetops and the birds were around in only small numbers. There were a pair of Pacific Black Ducks at Platypus Bend and I did managed to take a couple of pics of a Scarlet Honeyeater at the end of Picnic Peninsula.
A solitary Bush Stone-curlew was one of the few inhabitants of the paddock behind the Car Park but the pair were still present at Nick’s Camping Area.
Will try and do better tomorrow!
