Wildlife Report

I quickly found a Green Ringtail Possum in what is becoming a regular roost at the informal entrance to Allumbah Pocket. She was again well concealed but I could see sufficient to identify her as “Mrs Green”.
“Nosey”, another Green Ringtail, had also returned to her most favoured position in the tree next to the suspension Bridge and was particularly photogenic. She was seen and enjoyed by some passing tourists who had just seen a Platypus.
At Snodgrass’s Pool “Whitespot”, my third named GRP, was also at home with her joey although neither were very keen to show their faces.
At The Log Jam the only signs of life were two very small Saw-shelled Turtles on the same log which provided an artistic shot.
Between the first and second Overhanging Bushes another Green Ringtail was sitting on a branch of the large River Oak. She was partly obscured by the fine green twigs and flowering fronds of the tree through which her face could be seen.
At the tip of Picnic Peninsula, the young male Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroo was again high in the canopy of a large tree on the far bank. He was unfortunately not very active, only the occasional shake of his ears to repel flies betraying his presence.
I continued on to the Lomandra clump near Highway Bridge and took photos of both Golden Orb-weaver spiders.
At Nick’s Camping Area the pair of Bush Stone-curlews were posing for their photos to be taken although I had to rush before the gardener scared them away.
In the hollow tree the Chocolate Brushtail was exposing her rump and tail while in the Fig Tree “Tatty” the Coppery Brushtail was sulking and only showing her back.
