  In the afternoon we went out to 
Larrigan to play tennis. It was not by any 
means a bird afternoon but there were five 
birds present which 
are typical of that   [photo] 
kind of country and 
which I always 
expect to find there. 
Eastern Rosellas were 
in large numbers, 
mostly in pairs. 
Noisy Miners were everywhere and one was 
seen chasing a Pardalote. Mr Laurie Dennis told 
[photo]  me that they drive 
all small birds 
away. A Whistling 
Eagle flew round 
and among the 
gums below the 
house where it had 
nested. It can be 
seen just above Mt. Gellibrand! Lastly there 
were Gang-gangs which at one time never 
left the bush but now are such regular 
visitors that they are missed if not present.
