Post

Pleasant morning for a stroll along the Walk and at least the rain has stopped.
Nothing seen at Allumbah Pocket. A couple waited for us to cross the Suspension Bridge and admired Thomas as we passed which made his day!
A couple of White-headed Pigeons were seen in the large trees on the way down from the Other Side.
Unfortunately no sign of the Green Ringtail Possums or the Water Dragons.
At the Log Jam, the large Eastern Water Dragon was in much the same spot as yesterday and he was being watched by a tiny Saw-shelled Turtle from the logs.
Nothing was seen after that along the length of the Creek but the pair of Bush Stone-curlews appear to have assumed ownership of what was Nick’s Beer Garden and were ready to welcome guests!

Only a few of these birds around at present
