PEACEFUL DOVES were caught in the chicken run and 
also that she had seen another species. The latter
I found and confirmed to be three BAR-SHOULDERED
DOVES which kept close to the kitchen feeding 
on the ground from scraps. In the early 
afternoon I wandered in the magnolias and saw
in their branches a WHITE-HEADED PIGEON. It
certainly reminded me that Queensland is the 
place for pigeons.
  We went for an afternoon cruise to
Hook Is[land] (Butterfly Bay) on which at the beach, 
were piles of empty oyster shells left, I am
told by aborigines +[and] Japanese pearlers. We had
a long look at the coral - a fantastic world.
The only interest in birds was the sight of
a CRESTED TERN and chasing a Black-faced 
CUCKOO-SHRIKE out from the foliage - a SPANGLED
DRONGO - the bird with the Lewis Carol name. 
We got back after dark when the wind had
risen, too many of us were transferred to an 
almost water-logged flat-boat which the motor-
boat could not pull even before it broke down.
Fortunately our shouts were heard and 
eventually I used the oars in ferrying three 
loads, eventually wading ashore.
