[6+7.12.47] half-an-hour a flock of sheep surrounded me 
and I packed up with a photo of the 
nest but no bird. Then I climbed up 
out of the valley to the top of the ridge, 
along which I slowly made my way. 
The Swamp Harrier was still there beating up 
and down the same beat. A pair of WH I TE DUSKY 
^RQWiD WOOD-SWALLOWS chased a WEDGE-TAILED 
EAGLE gliding inexorably up the valley. The 
previous evening I saw one of a pair of Eagles 
in what was probably a courtship 
flight - an undulating glide not dissimilar 
to that of a pigeon. 
In the bush were three common 
Honeyeaters - YELLOW-FACED, WHITE-EARED and 
NEW HOLLAND. Also were STRIATED THORNBILLS 
dancing up from the bracken to the lower 
twigs of the gums. A single GREY CURRAWONG 
was seen. On stumps above the bracken 
and near to each other were a FLAME 
ROBIN and a JACKY WINTER each feeding 
in a very similar manner. Though not 
seen a FANTAIL CUCKOO'S trill was heard in 
the bush as also was a mournful single 
note of the ORANGE T I PPED SPOTTED PARDALOTE.
