[13.10.52] Timboon we came across many pairs of BLUE- 
WINGED PARROTS of which we continued to see many 
while we were in that district. Up the Waarre road 
to our camping spot we saw the WHITE-FRONTED CHAT 
and stopped for a very good view of a pair of 
SPOTTED QUAIL-THRUSH - a new bird for Max. 
We camped in off the road with a tent- 
fly over the car and tied to the trees opposite. 
Around us, in light regenerating bush, we could 
hear the NATIVE THRUSH, FAN-TAIL CUCKOO, FLAME ROBIN 
RED-TIPPED PARDALOTE, GREY FANTAIL, WHITE-NAPED 
HONEYEATERS, BLACK-FACED CUCKOO-SHRIKE, GOLDEN 
WHISTLER and WHITE-THROATED TREE-CREEPER. We 
went down for water, across the pasture which 
has now been very much enlarged and the vast 
stretches of grass-trees have been much reduced in 
area. Crossing this, down to the stream we 
saw the PIPIT, SKYLARK, GREY CURRAWONG, STRIATED FIELD-W [WREN] 
and BLACK-SHOULDERED KITE.

We did not have a particularly good night - to 
(37) 
newness of camp and the cold, but Max developed 
(52) 
severe ear-ache and had very little sleep. We had 
an early breakfast and set off for the grass-tree.
