Thursday 31st October 2019. 1350 – 1505

No rain. Scattered cloud with sunny periods. No wind increasing to light breeze. Track dry.

Full team on deck today but even Cody’s prowess could only produce a single Platypus. It was however tracked along both sides of Picnic Peninsula in company with 2 blokes from Germany, but only approached the near bank for a few seconds. The Allumbah Pocket Brushtail Possum was in an even worse mood today , possibly in response to my derogatory remarks of yesterday. The same Eastern Water Dragon was in the same spot opposite the Memorial Bench and 7 Saw Shelled turtles were at the Log Jam. Not nearly as exciting as yesterday but at least we did see a Platypus.

Common Brushtail Possum. Trichosuras vulpecula

In an even worse mood today!

Eastern Water Dragon. Physignathus lesueurii

Saw-shelled Turtle. Elseya latisternum

A slightly different pose each day.
I think he has forgotten to wipe his chin after lunch!

Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus

At the tip of Picnic Peninsula.
Close to the near bank at last!
Back to mid stream but at least a few colours.
