Myself and friends, Liz and Ann, went for a lovely walk this morning in 4 degrees but with a chill factor of 'many more minus degrees'.  The wind was coming straight off the snow.

Although we were looking for birds we were very pleasantly surprised to photograph a Platypus.  It is perfect platypus habitat, deep water and steep sides suitable for burrowing.

Our birdlist:
3 birds still to be identified
    1 waterbird, 1 raptor, 1 small bird
Pied Cormorant
Australian Shelduck
Blue Billed Duck
Grey Teal
Dusky Moorhen
Black Swan
Purple Swamphen
Superb Fairy Wren
Crimson Rosella
Pelican
Eurasian Coot

that's 14 species - not bad for an hour and a bit!
