42 [page number] 
[20.11.48]. site is indicated by the two photos taken 
of the bush with camera set up. So marking 
its site for next morning. I moved on to a 
piece of bush over the road. 
There there were SILVEREYES, BLACK- 
[photo] FACED CUCKOO-SHRIKES, WHITE-THROATED 
TREE-CREEPERS and a very 
growling, chuckling KOOKABURRA 
which soon indicated to 
me its nest in a hole in 
tall dead trunk which 
can be seen in the 
accompanying photograph. 
Though I waited for a 
full half-hour for that bird 
to return to photograph it 
as well as its hole. It had more patience than 
I had and I gave up. A shadow 
beside me on the ground made me 
look up to see a GREY FANTAIL building a 
nest 20 feet up in afhot4 young sapling. Both 
birds were engaged, sitting on it and rotating 
with the bill working along the outside.
