August 1 — This morning fewer flocks were seen than expected. Most of 
the birds seen were the Noddy Tern and Wedge-tails. Four Noddies were 
seen sitting on a stick in the water. We arrived in port at 1200 
and spent until 1430 catching up on reports. The rest of the day was 
spent at the hotel. 
August 2 — At the hotel, most of the day. This afternoon we went to 
Cocoa Head in search of Fairy Terns. One bird was seen on the nest, 
and three others were seen at different places and together over a 
bunch of trees. One dived at Huber, but he didn't have his net handy. 
Huber was not quite fast enough to grab the one on the nest. Other 
birds seen were Brown Boobies, Wedgetails, Frigates, Common 
Noddies, and some land birds.
