There were in fact two in the area though I only got good photos of one; the second one flew in and then flew away again, and the other followed.

First time in my whole life that I have seen a platypus in the wild. Note: first photo is one of the best in the set, posted as 'cover'; remaining photos are in order as taken; I included some photos of the typical ripple pattern made when the animal submerged, as it was submerging and then coming back up; and have included some of the 'not-so-great' images.
still finding some old pics. Date is correct but the time is approximate.
