User's notes
Not having seen any Platypus for a couple of weeks I was getting concerned, given their reliability over most of the last year. But I wondered whether a weather or seasonal change had led to a change of habits. So I watched for them at a different time to usual, and there they were. The interesting thing about this one is the partly dry fur which may mean the Platypus seen here had just left its burrow; it was close to the bank so this adds to this possibility.
