No rain. Bright and sunny with some wispy high cirrus cloud this afternoon. Blustery southerly wind. Track remains dry.
Full team on duty today but Cody unfortunately left his mojo behind. Saw nothing until the Log Jam where there were several Saw-shelled Turtles and a Krefft’s Short-necked Turtle. A platypus was busy feeding along the far bank on the upstream side of Picnic Peninsula. Also glimpsed another platypus in front of the Viewing Platform. Whistling Ducks and a view Magpie Geese can still be seen across the paddock behind the Car Park. A Black Kite was making heavy weather of the wind gusts above the Doctor House and landed in a nearby tree.
