User's notes

Record submitted through Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch Platy and Ratty Portal. Observer notes: River was running very fast. Platypus was swimming in one spot then would go underwater and appear further downstream, then swim back up again. We watched for about 10 mins. Photo credit: lulu
