No rain. Sky clear but hazy . Hot with warm SW breeze, gusty at times. Track dry.

Both canine companions with me again today but too early for Water Dragons and Turtles to be up and about. First sighting of the day was a male Green Ringtail Possum in the large River Oak between Platypus Bend and Log Jam Peninsula. He was having a bit of a stroll around and exposing himself! There has been a clear out at the Log Jam with many of the smaller branches removed which has improved the water flow but might upset the Turtles. There will be more competition for available perches and they may have to climb even higher on top of each other! More birds around today and took some shots of Lewin’s and Scarlet Honeaters enjoying the flowers on either side of Log Jam Peninsula. Another Green Ringtail Possum was at Overhanging Bushes. Directions to see the Possums were given to several visitors including a delightful young couple from The Netherlands. I hope they all managed to find them. The Bush Stone-curlews were back next to the Doctor House but in a slightly less exposed position.
