Post.

The Golden Orb Weaver was at the same spot in front of the Picnic shelter at Allumbah Pocket.
At Snodgrass’s Pool the small Green Ringtail Possum was perched in a fork of one of the Creek bank trees. Showed him to a chap from UK who currently lives in Spain.
Continued on without seeing much until just before Picnic Peninsula where I photographed an unusual view of a White-headed Pigeon.
A Platypus emerged from under the bank foliage and headed upstream where I managed to get several photos of some scratching activity and a good closeup before he headed over to the far bank of Stringers Stretch.
Another Platypus was sighted in the Viewing Pool at long range but creating concentric circles of waves as he scoured the bottom for food. He remained in sight for a good ten minutes and I passed him on to some just arrived visitors as I left.
The Bush Stone-curlews at the Car Park were on speaking terms today although the male bird seemed more interested in his own appearance than his spouse.
