the Rainbow-Lorikeet which is evidently the common 
member of the parrot family in these parts. At 
the mouth of the creek in the mangroves was a 
Mangrove Kingfisher.

  We rested. In the morning I sat on the 
beach and while Joan read and knitted I 
counted the herons that passed eastwards across 
the mouth of the bay from Ackhurst Is[land] to the 
reef which was rapidly being exposed by the 
falling tide. I found that there were 
two main waves at a half-hour interval, and 
that the white-fronted Herons landed to be taken 
on to the reef. After lunch I went to look 
for the Red-crowned Pigeons which I could  
hear almost every day and succeeded in getting 
a very good view of them. But it was 
a very quiet day and for the first time no 
new birds were added to the list.

was another very quiet day. In the
morning I again counted the herons, confirming 
the previous day but not to quite such an 
extent as then. In the evening we walked 
out on the reef and were fascinated by the 
multitude of forms of life there - another 
very lazy day.
