This was most unexpected!
Platypus are extremely shy and can usually only be seen on sunset and sundown as they forage mainly during the night (their eyesight is very poor)
This one - and his mate - were out and about at midday, and totally unconcerned by people.
Unfortunately it's very hard to predict where they will pop up for their next breath - makes it hard to get a good photo!
