User's notes

Record submitted through Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Platy and Ratty Portal. Observer notes: I observed the animal for about 1 hour, it surfaced occasionally in the middle of the water body, or along the edge under willow trees. This is the first Platypus I've seen at Jerrabomberra Wetlands since 10 November 2020 (details of that sighting at https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/64561864).
