  Another Monday +[and] Tuesday on immunisation 
this time in another direction: Swan Marsh (9.00 am) 
Pirron Yallock (9.30 am)., Cororooke (10.0 + 10.30);  Balintore 
(1.0 pm), Alvie (1.30 pm), Warrion (2.0 pm), Ondit (2.30 pm). 
Both were very hot cloudless days not unusual 
for this time of year. I was by myself 
but the trip was only 60 miles and I had 
ample opportunity to keep my eyes open for 
birds. On the second day I visited at 
lunch the west shore of Lake Colac because 
the swamp at Balintore which had been so 
fruitful in October was dry. There were there
simply hundreds of MOUNTAIN DUCK, BLACK DUCK and
SWAN, with lesser numbers of PELICANS, SILVER GULLS
RED-CAPPED DOTTERELS, WHITE-FRONTED CHATS, BANDED PLOVER,
LITTLE BLACK CORMORANT, PINK-EARED DUCK +[and] MUSK DUCK (11).
  At the end of each day I came over 
the Warncoort hill past Ball's Dam where the
 total of birds on both days was MAGPIE-LARK
 MAGPIE, RAVEN, SPUR-WINGED PLOVER, STRAW-NECKED IBIS
 SWAN, WHITE-FACED HERON,DUSKY MOORHEN, EASTERN SWAMPHEN
 LITTLE GREBE, MOUNTAIN DUCK, BLACK DUCK, GULL-BILLED TERN,
 YELLOW-BILLED SPOONBILL, SWALLOWS, WILLIE-WAGTAIL, JACKASS,
 BROWN HAWK, WHISTLING EAGLE.  (19)
