No rain. High cirrus cloud plus scattered cumulus. Sunny but filtered by high cloud to reduce it’s strength. Light breeze. Track dry.

Thomas and I left early this morning to fit in with a later engagement. The large female Golden Orb-weaver Spider was still in the same spot at Allumbah Pocket and the male still flirting with death. I suspect that he was in fact on the other side of the web. My favourite Green Ringtail Possum was in her regular roost next to Lloyd’s Suspension Bridge where she was also admired by a Mum and 2 children from Speewah who happened to be passing. Several other visitors were also told where to find her. Thomas enjoyed some well deserved admiration on 2 occasions. Too early for the Eastern Water Dragons to be up and about but a Turtle was seen taking a breath in Snodgrass’s Pool where a Little Black Cormorant was also taking a swim. Platypus were one again notable by their absence and there was nothing to be seen at the Log Jam. Another Green Ringtail Possum was in No 1 of the Overhanging Bushes but extremely difficult to see and required considerable ingenuity to obtain an adequate view. Nothing else was seen along the Walk but a Welcome Swallow was perched on the wire keeping an eye on the nest under the eaves of The Doctor House.
