Nov[ember] 13th    Early next morning I left for
home and did a fast run â”€ picking
[margin] T [circled]104[/circled][/margin]
up two species â”€ NOISY MINER +[AND] WHISTLING
EAGLE.
   That is a very good total for a
"quiet week", but the memorable
occasion in it was the beachcombing
which was quite a new experience.

   We went on a family
holiday, caravanning at Bridgewater
Bay with all four children. It
was strictly family, but we did
go in and visit Noel Learmouth
on one occasion. Points of
interest were flocks of RED WATTLE-
BIRDS of up to 50 by Bats Ridge,
a pair of HOODED DOTTERELL with
two immature on sandy beach and 
one BLUE-WINGED PARROT. Never, I think
have I had less to say, ornithologically
on a weeks holiday in the countryside!
