Sunday 11th August 2019. 1110-1215

Sunny. No rain. No wind. Dry track.

Both dogs with me today, Cody having recovered from his toe infection. Only one platypus seen downstream of the Log Jam but he gave a virtuoso performance to myself and a group of tourists including a couple from NZ. A couple of Saw-Shelled turtles were observing from the logs. The Bush Stone-Curlews had moved to the car park boundary but booth lying down again. Perhaps they were the birds we heard wailing at 0400!

Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus.
