Sunday 7th July – 0900 – 0930

Overcast but warmer than for a few days and intermittent sun. Few puddles after recent showers and some areas of sticky mud. Not good for new white trainers!

Birds active and noisy but keeping well hidden. 2 platypus seen, the first checking territory , the other having a scratch before stopping to check me out. Cattle egrets still busy with the heifers.

Platypus 1

Fast moving on surface.

Diving at speed.

Platypus 2

Moving fast while having a good scratch with right hind leg. Difficult conditions for a well focused image!
Stopped to check me out.
Bye!
