Tuesday 3rd December 2019. 1110 – 1205

No rain. Misty early. Very hot in spite of increasing cover from thundery cumulus clouds. Light intermittent breeze. Track dry.

Nothing to be seen at Allumbah Pocket this morning. The darkly coloured Common Brushtail Possum was in a large tree at The Other Side. He didn’t enjoy it when me moved to see his face and moved further up out of view. A Saw-shelled Turtle could be seen from the Memorial Bench but there were no Water Dragons in the vicinity. At the Log Jam there was only a tiny Turtle in residence. No Platypus or Green Ringtail Possums today. Some hopeful ripples at The Narrows proved to be created by a group of active Water Sliders, five of which were busy eating a drowned cicada. The Golden Orb-weaver was in her usual spot close to the Highway Bridge and was enjoyed by a pair of visitors from California. All was well in the Figbird colony and a couple of different representatives were photographed.
