Wednesday 17th July. 0930 – 1025

7 deg C at 0700 with a clear blue sky but had clouded up by the time we got under way. Fortunately little wind so felt markedly warmer than yesterday although not sufficient to satisfy the wildlife. Cody deigned to accompany us.

The only sighting was a platypus underneath Lloyd’s Suspension Bridge and even he was spending minimal time on the surface.

Platypus. Ornithorhynchus anatinus.

Different perspective because close to vertically above and leaning out over safety fence.

Dived almost immediately and the shutter caught him in the process. Interesting that the bill is gaping and similar to a previous image in that respect.
