Also !> occurs with Low Oblique , or semi -Forward posture. Sometimes with 
Ruffle , but now apparently rarer than before. Wings held out and/or drooped. 
Tail markedly raised. 
Often combined with Squat . 
8 . 
Squat 
Freeze. Like that of adult Ring-bills; but always, apparently, in 
9. Squat . Just like adult Ring-bills, in essentials at least. Very 
flat. Wings held far out from body, sometimes sat on. 
10. Bowing . Looks very much like a particularly rapid alternation 
of adult Obliques and Low Obliques. The bottom of the Bow is certainly very 
much like the adult Low Oblique, (probably shorter-necked, however; all these 
juvenile patterns tend to be short-necked). The top of the Bow is less like 
the adult Oblique. Very often more of an Upright or Erect Posture. 
(Like the erect posture from which young chicks gave the high intensity Distr- 
ess Call). 
11. Ruffle , Baffles me, parti cuiarly as 'its relative frequency 
(association with other patterns) seems to be changing, now. Would have said 
that it is very aggressive, except that it doesn't usually occur just before 
attack. Sometimes particularly conspicuous after a fight, (perhaps an intent- 
ion movement of shaking out wings?). 
In any case, I think that it is an "intention movement" of raising or 
moving wings; either raising them in attack, and/or raising them as part of 
a comfort movement. This interpretation might possibly explain why its 
frequency seems to have changed. 
12. Honking . Only heard once, today. A series of honking notes, 
each note much like the single Honks of the juvenile Ring-bill, by one bird 
after giving Juvenile Pumping Notes and attacking during a dispute with 
Helen. Perhaps a by-product.
