77 [page number] 
[JAN 23^^ - 29^^ 1954] been staying a week with Aunt Molly. 
We stayed there two nights and the 
only thing of interest was a WHITE-BROWED 
SCRUB WREN which was feeding a young 
PALLID CUCKOO. On the Monday morning 
we went on to Waratah Bay just 
on the western bay of Wilson's Promontory, 
where we had a sunny camp in the 
ti-tree scrub. A few yards from the 
caravan I found a WHIP-BIRD'S nest with 
2 young in it. Also I saw large 
numbers of SHORT-TAILED SHEARWATER in 
the Bay and found one fresh, dead 
bird on the beach. It was a 
good holiday - remarkably so - 
but I really outing saw the avifauna 
which I would have expected to see 
in the district. We came home in 
the one day on the 29^^ January with 
the weather steadily deteriorating! All 
told the total list of birds for the 
holiday was fifty-three - which shows 
meagre ornithological activity!
