On Saturday afternoon Joan, Michael and I went 
out and had tea at Yeodene. It was a warm 
afternoon, sunny with a beautiful view of the 
Otways to the south. A GREY BUTCHER-BIRD sang down 
in the valley and WRENS, NATIVE THRUSHES and YELLOW 
WHITE-EARED HONEYEATERS sang everywhere about. I was 
particularly pleased to come across the STRIATED 
FIELD-WREN at close quarters for I followed it and 
watched for some time. Such an unobtrusive bird 
has given me some trouble though it is common 
enough to have become well known by now. Other
