User's notes

Probably two animals seen, in the second of the ponds in which I saw them prior to the February floods. So now Platypus have returned to two of the three ponds in which I found them previously, following an absence by them of about a month. See also my story 'Platypus and the Anabranch' on the Atlas of Life site.
