Police and SES crews are continuing to scour bushland in the search for the remains of William Tyrrell.
A team of about 20 people was seen on Thursday on the eastern side of Batar Creek Rd in Kendall, NSW — less than one kilometre from where the renewed search originally started.
They are less than 500m away from where the three-year-old boy vanished in September 2014 from a home that belonged to his foster grandmother.
It appears a 20m strip is the focus of the search.
Earlier this week, investigators found a red piece of fabric, which was pulled from the drained creek bed.
William was last photographed wearing a red and black Spider-Man suit.
Forensic experts have been helping with the search, including hydrologist Jon Olley and forensic archaeologist Tony Lowe.
They were spotted at the scene on Thursday.
But heavy rain has also been a hindrance on some days.
Investigators returned to Kendall last month to launch a fresh search following new information in the case.
William has never been found despite years of detective work, the identification of hundreds of people of interest, a $1m reward for information and a coronial inquiry that remains open.
