[25 th September 1948] look-out were MAGPIES, MAGPIE-LARKS, PIPITS, 
SPUR-WINGED PLOVER, RAVENS and WHITE-FRONTED 
CHATS. Also out in the swamp were 
BLACK DUCK and few pairs of MOUNTAIN 
DUCK. On the dam were two small brown 
and white duck with massive bills which 
were diving. I took them to be young of 
the Mountain Duck. Also out in the swamp 
were flocks of "waders" - 1 am getting 
almost desperate about waders and 
these on the swamp were as far as 
I can say the Common Sandpiper. But 
I must bag some specimens.
