  After breakfast Joan and I set off 
around the east point going slowly looking
at the shells and animals in the reef, including
the monstrous black sea urchins. I saw an
OSPREY perched on the very top of a 
Norfolk Pine and when it flew off saw
that there was a nest there. Later the 
bird came back with a stick in its talons
which it added to the nest. A little further
out I watched it fishing, diving obliquely into 
the water to arise shaking the water from
itself. A little later we saw the most
gorgeous pair of Sun-birds playing in a 
Norfolk Pine. At the end of our walk on the
easternmost part of the Island were three
LITTLE CUCKOO-SHRIKES in the pines. It was there too
that we disturbed a pair of SOOTY OYSTER CATCHERS
which fled nearby on the rocks. When we
reached home at the same time as a storm
a male Sunbird was singing its canary-like
song by the door of our hut.
  After lunch it was wet and I began 
these notes and apart from a visit to the 
Whimbrels on the sound-bank the day's birds were
over.
