No rain. Cold morning progressing to bright sunny day with moderate cold breeze from SE. Track dry.
Found an Australasian Figbird singing along Bunya St. A solitary Green Ringtail Possum was roosting in the large tree across the track from Snodgrass’s Pool and was able to show her to a couple from Holland and a young man from Germany. Leaving them a platypus was seen just along the track and by some fluke I managed quite a good snap shot. This was fortunate as the only other platypus seen was at very long range in the Viewing Pool. A trio of Saw-shelled Turtles were gracing the Log Jam today. At the end of the walk I strolled up towards the Curtain Fig Tree turning and discovered where the Plumed Whistling Ducks are congregating on the far bank of the creek.
