half-an-hour a flock of sheep surrounded me 
and I packed up with a photo of the 
nest but no bird. Then I climbed up
out of the valley to the top of the ridge,
along which I slowly made my way.
The Swamp Harrier was still there beating up
and down the same beat. A pair of [crossed out] WHITE [/crossed out] DUSKY
[crossed out] BROWED [/crossed out] WOOD-SWALLOWS chased a WEDGE-TAILED
EAGLE gliding inexorably up the valley. The 
previous evening I saw one of a pair of Eagles 
in what was probably a courtship
flight â€“ an undulating glide not dissimilar 
to that of a pigeon.
  In the bush were three common 
Honeyeaters â€“ YELLOW-FACED, WHITE-EARED and
NEW HOLLAND. Also were STRIATED THORNBILLS
dancing up from the bracken to the lower 
twigs of the gums. A single GREY CURRAWONG
was seen. On stumps above the bracken 
and near to each other were a FLAME 
ROBIN and a JACKY WINTER each feeding
in a very similar manner. Though not
seen a FANTAIL CUCKOO'S trill was heard in
the bush as also was a mournful single 
note of the [crossed out] ORANGE-TIPPED [/crossed out] SPOTTED PARDALOTE.
