User's notes

The photos show 3 monitors recorded on my hike from Green Cape to Bittangabee and return. Photo 1 shows a monitor with what looks like a ringtail possum carcass between Pulpit & Bittangabee (indicated on map). The second was at Pulpit Rocks and the third at the Bittangabee Bay area.

Rather special to see one with prey. I've never seen them eating anything, just occasionally hanging around carrion.
