Ill [page number] 
[November 12^^ 1954] [WEDGE-TAILED] EAGLE and a GREENFINCH. 
Then into the old Nelson track where 
I stepped in the shelter of Bat Ridge where 
we had had lunch on our holiday. It 
was sheltered there but no birds were 
seen, though I wandered round with 
the rifle, hopefully looking for Sittellas. 
After lunch (which I had had 
at Bat Ridge) Noel Learmouth called 
for me and we went first to the 
swamp by the Freezing Works. There 
we found MANED GOOSE & CHESTNUT TEAL & L. PIED CORMORANT. 
Then north a few miles to the Woolwash, 
a site on a stream, open dairy country 
on one side and the thickly wooded 
slopes of Mt Clay on the other. I saw 
the EASTERN ROSELLA, WHITE-THROATED TREE- 
CREEPER and a nest of the RED-BROWED 
FINCH. Not much else was seen before 
returning, going by way of a Goshawks 
nest on which could be seen, three 
well grown young.
