Wednesday 11th December 2019. 1230 – 1330.

Rain overnight 3.5 mls. Overcast with sunny periods. Gusty wind to 15 knots. Track damp.

Nothing at Allumbah Pocket this morning but found the Chocolate Brushtail Possum in his haunt at The Other Side. Thought that there were no Eastern Water Dragons around until one jumped out of the rocks almost under my feet and took up position on a rock across the path. A very attractive Dragon too.
At Platypus bend a pair of Orange-footed Scrubfowl were busy as usual scratching up dead leaves in a reclusive manner. Managed to get pics of them after a short wait. A family group of Barred Cuckooshrikes arrived in a nearby tree along the track and posed for me. At the Log Jam there were four Saw-shelled Turtles two of whom decided to take a swim but not before they had been photographed.
Apart from that it was a quiet afternoon but the Figbirds were still going about their daily business at the commune.
