Tuesday 10th March 2020. 0905 – 1010

7 mm of rain. Overcast with a few small area of blue sky. Light breeze. Track damp with some muddy areas. Water level falling.

No takers to walk with me today as both dogs exhausted after early morning shopping and taxing responsibility of looking after the car.
Saw nothing at Allumbah Pocket or The Other Side.
An Eastern Water Dragon was on the rocks opposite the Memorial Bench.
In the tree above White Spot the Green Ringtail Possum was at her High Level Perch clutching Joey with her forearm as he lay on top of her. She was not looking best pleased.
Another Water Dragon was on the next group of rocks with only his head showing. I photographed this but he obviously realised that I wasn’t satisfied and moved to display more of his well patterned body!
Apart from a few small Turtles swimming near the surface and Cicadas calling from the tree tops the remainder of the Walk was uneventful.
Under the Highway Bridge I met a Main Roads employee who was taking photos of the path to facilitate the remedial work that is planned to be done in the current financial year. It might actually happen!
Only a few Curlews in the paddock but the pair of Bush Stone Curlews were in the Car Park surrounds posing.

Eastern Water Dragon. Physignathus lesueurii

Opposite Memorial Bench and under White Spot’s tree.
A sidelong stare from the next group of rocks!
He moved to reveal his well fed body!

Green Ringtail Possum. Pseudochirops archeri

Mum’s face at top with White Spot on her right ear. Left arm hanging on to the brat!
Joey half asleep with face revealed at left side.

Bush Stone-curlew. Burhinus grallarius

Lying down relaxing.
Standing frozen in forward leaning pose pretending to be invisible!
