User's notes

Between 40-50 individuals. Flew into this spot on the Molonglo River from the east as the sun rose over the horizon. Huge feeding ground - from pine cones to grubs under the wattle bark and more. Then individuals progressed down to the river for a drink after eating and calling out for a good two hours! Had aimed to walk along the river looking for Platypus hangouts, based on the old records, but this was a nice surprise. No platypus sighted…
