WHITE-THROATED WARBLER and LITTLE FRIAR-BIRD.
I walked up the track a way and back
again, when a SATIN BOWER-BIRD flashed
off onto a sapling and back again. I
watched and to my delight found it
was at its Bower. I collected Joan

bower - beautifully and precisely built with
many blue odds and ends about it.
   That was good compensation for
an otherwise extraordinarily dull day for
birds in the National Park - bringing my 
total for the trip up to 105 - not too 
bad I suppose for very continuous travel,
for the extra interest in plants and the
main fact that birds are 'extras'  on
this holiday.

the latter we went up as far as St Ives
and Epping to nurseries. Two more
birds were added to the list - LITTLE
WATTLE-BIRD and BULBUL. Tomorrow
we are off again to the Blue Mountains.
