[April 3 - 5th]
Walking down the river further I left the bush 
and got into more open forest with bracken-
covered hill-sides.  There saw I saw GOLDFINCHES, 
RED BROWED FINCHES, GOSHAWK and a NOISY MINER.  
Altogether on that afternoon's outing I saw 27 
species. We had our camp with a Mr Ritchie 
who spends most of his time camped there.  In 
his younger days he used to get out camping 
with Charles Belcher and he now knows so 
little about birds that he hesitated in giving 
the Yellow Robin its name!
  We left at the crack of dawn next 
morning and as were leaving we saw 
a pair of LITTLE GREBES on the Aireys R[iver] and 
going through Lorne a SCARLET ROBIN.

  I did the first inspection and test of 
40 children at Warncoort, Irrewarra, Dreeite, Wool Wool 
and Nalangil. It is all plain country, the 
latter half being the bare Stony Rises, the 
lava outflows from the Warrion group. The 
following is a list of birds seen on that 
route -                             HERON                      MOUNTAIN DUCK          WREN

RAVEN                          SPARROW                  KESTREL                        GOLDFINCH
