[17th September]
lunch looking over the swamp-land by the 
Hawk's Nest R[oa]d and there there were six 
WHITE IBIS, WHITE COCKATOOS in pairs feeding on 
the swamp. SPUR-WINGED PLOVER, KESTREL and 
SKYLARK.  I then went for half an hour 
and sat on a stony barrier in the rises 
where were seen GREY BUTCHER-BIRD, STRIATED 
PARDALOTE, RED WATTLE-BIRD, WHITE-EARED HONEYEATER 
BLUE WREN, GOLDFINCHES. Also both STRIATED and  
BROWN THORNBILLS were present and I got 
extremely good views of both so that the 
identity is finally settled. Also there were 
in the rises, WHISTLING EAGLES and what I 
think were GOSHAWKS.
  Besides SPARROWS which were met 
in the Cororooke area, the rest are birds  
of the swamp - BLACK DUCK, TEAL (? on Cororooke  
Swamp), COMMON SANDPIPER (? long way away) WHITE- 
HEADED STILT - two pairs one at Cororooke and 
one on L[ake] Colac W[est] - COOT, MUSK DUCK, HOARY-HEADED 
GREBE, CRESTED GREBE, LITTLE BLACK CORMORANTS, 
LITTLE PIED CORMORANT, EASTERN SWAMP-HEN and 
RED-CAPPED DOTTEREL.  That was a 
really excellent day and for the two trips 
a total of fifty one species were seen.
