Still trying to spot the platypus...

We're pretty sure one lives in this pond - but haven't been able to spot him yet.

He will pop up when you have no camera. Probably do summersaults, balance a twig on his head and just as you get out your phone- bugger off!!

Besides, this is a beauty of a landscape to photograph and sit and watch and wait!!

Good luck seeing him/her x

If your luck is anything like mine, all you have to do is put your camera good and well away!

Don't bring your camera out when you go looking for him. Guaranteed he'll show up. Pretty view!

@shutterbug49 Hi Shutterbug - unfortunately they are usually most active and dawn and dusk - but can sometimes be seen through -out the day. They are pretty shy though. :)

Hi everybody - thanks so much for all of your interest and comments - lots of good advice about forgetting to try to get a photo and just enjoy the area. Way to go I think - and maybe just be lucky enough to have the camera out! Or, shock,horror, get up really early and be up there at dawn..... Thanks again Cheers Rob
