22 nd Jan 57 - Tuesday - nothing to report in the way of 
birds. It was raining when we woke but 
cleared during the day. We spent the day 
on the beach or sleeping. Joan described what 
must have been a MISTLE-TOE BIRD and there 
were lorikeets calling from the nearby trees 
In the evening it got very sultry, reminding 
us of the eve of that hectic 5.0 am. storm 
last year. We'll see. 
23 rd Jan '59 - Wed. - Nothing to report for birds - 
just being lazy and sleeping ! 
24 th Jan '57 - Thurs. - Went for a swim in the 
morning over on the surf and found two 
of the young LITTLE TERNS again and 
another nest with one young egg. 
After lunch I went for a 
walk, taking Bardolph, down to Davis Creek 
but there were very few birds. It was 
noteworthy that the dominant birds were 
SILVEREYES and BROWN THORNBILLS in mixed 
flocks, the dominant honeyeater being - the 
SPINEBILL. I saw a MOUNTAIN THRUSH in 
the gully by the camp.
