Wildlife Report

No arboreal marsupials were found at Allumbah pocket today but while seeking them I spotted a Pacific Emerald Dove inspecting me from above.
I saw nothing then until Snodgrass’s Pool where “Whitespot” the Green Ringtail Possum was roosting in one of her regular trees.
On then to the Overhanging Bushes where I saw an Eastern Water Dragon on a log sloped against the far bank.
A few metres further on the local Green Ringtail was again on one of his regular branches with a rather nice curl to his tail.
While I was photographing him a Spotted Catbird flew into my field of view and remained for several minutes offering a variety of poses.
There were many White-headed Pigeons around and on Picnic Peninsula a saw one sitting rather nicely and took a photo.
At the narrows I saw one of my least favourite subjects but as I cannot recall seeing a Cane Toad on the Creek Bank before I recorded the event.
Several Large-footed Myotis could be seen under the Highway Bridge and I got one good shot.
As I crossed the bridge I recorded a minute Eastern Water Dragon on the rocks below.
The Bush Stone-curlews were at Nick’s Camping Area so I walked across the paddock for a photo op.
In the Overhanging Fig Tree the only occupant was a Spangled Drongo.
