[March 7^^ 1954] that spot on the road to Horsham 
where it crosses the Gleneig River. It 
was a beautiful spot where we had 
lunch and a long snoop round. 
We saw AZURE KINGFISHER, DARTERS, 
the LITTLE EAGLE (a good find) & NANKEEN 
NIGHT-HERON. All told we saw 
fifty-three species at that spot from 
12.0 noon - 4.0 pm - the same 
number as a week's caravanning! ! 
That day we saw a total of sixty- 
seven species. We returned home 
in time for tea and then I made 
the long and tedious trip home that 
night. 
SUMMARY 1953-54. 
Another quiet year - two 
holidays - a family picnic - and 
a week-end with Max. All were 
good value but the time spent 
birding was very slight and a 
firm resolution is being made to get 
back to the birds the coming season.
