So primarily they are nocturnal.
For us to study them, like it's all happening during the night.
It depends on what season it is.
So over the winter months and kind of leading into spring in Australia is their breeding season.
So they might start coming out a bit more during the day over those months.
The males are trying to find females.
They're trying to establish territory.
So you might get a bit more daytime activity.
but certainly predominantly at night.
And all our research is definitely kind of focused over those evening hours.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
I will say I've only started drinking coffee in the last few years and I'm not sure how I used to do this job without it, to be honest.
But, yeah, like a typical day, you know, we're heading out sort of in the afternoon.
We're looking for sites.
You know, we've got a few considerations when it comes to net setting, like the depth of the river, which nets we can use, you know, if we can get access, how fast the river's flowing.

We're hanging out.
We're waiting.
We're hoping for platypuses pretty much.
