User's notes

One of possibly two animals seen in this pond this morning. I have previously observed two here. Sightings appear to be lessening as winter comes on at this and other Anabranch ponds. This is the first winter that I have been doing Platypus fieldwork in this area, so maybe some new things to learn...
