August 12. — A Red-headed Merlin (Aesalon chicqucra) and a Nightjar 
noted near my house . 
August 13. — Drove out to some bush jungle filled with luxuriant grass 
and other undergrowth, where I found numbers of Tree- 
Warblers, apparently both Sykes' (Hppolais rama) and 
the Booted Tree-Warbler {H . caligata), which were in the 
bushes and in the grass . Here also were a fair number of 
White-eyed Buzzards (Butastin tccsa), while in the shorter 
grass were a few Eain Quail {Coturnix coromatiddica) 
and Button Quail (Turvix dnssumieri) . Two Green Sand- 
pipers noted. 
August 14. — Under a canal culvert I found a nest of the Wire -tailed 
Swallow (Hirio)do smithii) which was a fairly deep saucer 
of mud, similar to that of Hirimdo rnsticn, except that 
it was attached by one edge to the lower surface of the 
arch of the culvert and not supported underneath by any 
projection. It contained unfeathered young. Also 
unfinished nests of the Rufous Fantailed Warbler (Cisticola 
cursitans) and the Rufous-fronted Wren-Warbler (Frnnk- 
linia hvclninani) found. 
A Wagtail noted was apparently the Masked Wagtail 
{Motacilla peisonata) . 
August 15. — A Crested Honey-Buzzard {Pcrnis crisfatns), noted near 
my bungalow. What was perhaps the same bird was noted 
about on several subsequent days until the 27th, when I 
shot and skinned it. The bird proved to be an immature 
female and its stomach contained honeycomb and vegetable 
matter . 
Several Finch-larks (Ammonianes phoenkura and Phyr- 
rhidanda grisea) noted about. Also a White Ibis and a 
King Vulture (Otogyps calviis). 
To be continued.
