User's notes
This morning’s Platypus walk along known ponds on the Anabranch revealed at least four animals, possibly more. This was good as I was concerned to see whether there was any sign as yet of impact from the bushfire ash fallout on water chemistry which might affect invertebrate numbers and hence Platypus food supply. So far so good.
