Spurwing Plover (Lobibyx novae-hollandiae). Very common. 4 eggs. 
Banded Plover (Zonifer tricolor). Very common. 4 eggs. 
White-headed Stilt (Himantopus leucocephalus). 4 to 5 eggs. 
Tat-a-a, Snipe. This native name may perhaps apply to the Australian Snipe 
(Gallinago hardwickt), the Australian Painted Snipe (Rostratala australis), 
or possibly to Stints, the Greenshank or Sandpipers or to all these in general. 
These birds, with the exception of the Painted Snipe, breed outside Austra-

this species, an interesting locality record. 1 egg.

yellow feathers in the wings’’ [mistake for tail]. 2 eggs. 
White Cockatoo (Kakatoe galerita). Mar, the white cockatoo with yellow crest.

Corella (K. ienutrostris). Kar-a-al, a white cockatoo, presumably refers to this
