Breakfast time for Platypi by RobGeraghty, on Flickr

Now this is a cool shot, Rob. That critter certainly looks blue.

Funny you should say that he looks blue. In Japan they have a platypus character used by Japan Rail West, and it bugged me that it's blue, because a Platypus is brown.

Lucky sighting Rob. I am jealous.

I have some pics of Kookkaburras and a Koala in the wild - seriously doubt I'll get to a place where I'll be lucky enough to catch a platypus. But is is on an Aussia wildlife icons bucket-list.

The closest place to Brisbane where I've seen one was a campground near Mount Barney. The best views were at the campsite in Eungella national park in North Queensland.

Neon blue - a new sub-species?

Thanks for the tips, Rob

Thanks for the tips, Rob

You're welcome! I saw one in the middle of the day in the river near Uki in northern NSW, but you'd need the border open to go there.

No, this one has four legs!

Perhaps! Or maybe there's something in the water?

That's strange so does mine...

But no tail or dense two layer fur.

That's true...

Very cool shot!
