[20 th Jan '57] LITTLE TERNS. They evidently have an evening 
flight in pairs - chasing each other often in aerobatics, 
chirping rather like neophemas and glinting 
silver in the setting sun. 
21 st Jan '57 - Monday - started a clear fine day 
but the wind sprang up in the north, the 
sky hazed over and at mid morning 
the wind changed to a cool southerly. However 
it was always pleasantly fine. In the 
morning, after chores and reestablishing contact 
at the local store where I found they 
remembered me, we swam and lazed on 
the beach. After lunch I took the boys 
in with me to the township for the bread. 
In the later afternoon the boys and I 
went over to the large area of sand 
opposite the camp where I found a couple 
of LITTLE TERNS nests with their minute 
fledglings. On the way back among 
the caravans were a flock of gulls among 
which was a first year bird with one 
of the narrow rings on its right leg. One 
of the N.S.W. [New South Wales] efforts I presume.
