  Sunday showed the first real promise of fine
weather since our arrival.  Until 11:00 a.m Joan +[and] I 
sat on the sand and let the sun warm us. Then 
I went up to the east gully bare to the waist. 
perspiring pleasurably. On my way across the grass
flats behind the huts I was surprised to disturb a 
STONE-CURLEW- a much bigger bird than I had
thought it would be. Its uneven flight and 
comical tail waggle when it stopped between runs
were noticeable. Also as I crossed the flat a
PEREGRINE came down from the heights like a bullet
its shoulders hunched, black cheeks, whistling low over
me. In the gully were the White-eared Fly catcher, 
the Varied Triller, Rufous Whistler, and a family of
quarrelsome Grey Fantails.
  After lunch we went out in a launch to
a bay on the west side of the island where there 
was a Sea-eagle, magnificently imposing on the 
bare bough of a latt [guess] dead tree.  On the way
back we saw two huge turtles basking on the 
surface, raising their heads skywards.  We also
saw a few porpoises. The island just to the west
of Hayman is a spot to which all the Reef-Herons
go at high tide and the rocks were covered with 
them including 18 Whitefaced Herons(?).
