flock of SILVEREYES and [crossed out]a pair of [/crossed out] two immature
CRIMSON ROSELLAS - the first of the parrot and
cockatoo family to be seen on the trip. The
[HOODED DOTTEREL] was sitting when I got
back.
   I had a good sleep after lunch and
at 5.0 pm. the family set off for a walk
along the base of the cliff towards the
headland, up to a deserted farm, and
back over the top. It was roughly two
miles which is not a bad walk for
Jonathon at 3 years - not to speak
of a little boy with his first day of
chicken-pox.

Saturday Jan[uary] 19th 1952  The last day of the holidays,
there is nothing to report about birds - left at
9.15, morning tea at Port Fairy, petrol at Warrnambool,
lunch at Terang and home at 2.0 pm.
Nothing new was seen. It has a
been a good family holiday and, seeing
that it was a family holiday, it was
quite successful for birds. But I wish I
had that Dotterel's photo.
