Notes. 



Ballarat. — A large flock of wild Pelicans has taken up 

 quarters at Lake Wendouree, and is playing great havoc with 

 perch and other fish. The birds have evidently migrated from 

 one of the drought-stricken districts. Permits to shoot the 

 unwelcome visitors have been applied for by several local sports- 

 men. — At'giis, February, 1903. 



TiMMERING. — The terrific " brick-fielder " which swept the 

 district last week almost destroyed the large army of Native 

 Companions that had proved so troublesome on the Parkes Plain 

 farms. The birds used to retire to roost every night at a swamp 

 on Messrs. Gibson Bros.' run at Top Creek, and the morning 

 after the storm over 60 of them were found with their wings and 

 legs mangled through the violence of the wind. — Age, 21/11/02.
