Record submitted through Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Platy and Ratty Portal. Observer notes: I sighted three platypus this particular morning in the space of 15 mins and assume it was the same one as it surfaced in roughly the same area, close to the bank, three times. I photographed it on the second sighting, a number of times. I had previously heard them surface while o took bird photos, but hadn't managed to sight or photograph them until this date as I was always looking into the camera and missed them.
