Wednesday 21st August 2019. 1305-1400

No rain. Bright sunny day. Light breeze. Track dry.

Accompanied by both dogs who met a kindred spirit on The Other Side which all enjoyed. A platypus was seen at Snodgrass’s Pool, setting the tone for the day as 3 others followed although none in starring mood. Several Saw-shelled Turtles at The Log jam along with the second Platypus which remained immersed in the weed mat throughout. The Green Ringtail Possums were back in their favourite spot and enjoyed showing them to two couples from NSW. Further Platypus seen at either end of the narrows interspersed by a visit from a Pale-yellow Robin. It was a surprise to see a small turtle perched on a log a metre above the water in the centre of the Viewing Pool. Amazing how well they are able to climb when they have a mind to. The pair of Bush Stone-curlews were back behind Nick’s Restaurant.
