P.S. I am afraid Huber's personal competition with 
me is bound to lead him from the paths of righteousness. 
His latest ambition is to drink me under the table 
(hopeless as this ambition may be) The other night 
he consumed 12 Tom Collins. (He claimed 13* but in his 
state one may consider it no more than a C class 
estimate.) 
Went out along the airstrip yesterday and collected 
11 birds. Best days collesting the trip has yet had. 
3 species of duck collected, plus a fourth Shoveller 
seen. 5 Sharp-tails, a Sanderling, a Whimbrel ( surprise 
no BTCs on Kwad some 8 Whimbrels) and unknown sandpiper 
(smaller than Sharp-tail) which I believe represents 
a new species for the Project. (This note only to 
scoop Binion. No longer editor of the droppings 
I guess I'll have to settle for top reporter or something) 
Larry was, as you might guess, more than a little 
jealous. 
Regards and all that - 
Rog. 
P.S.S. 
Huber and company evened up today with a Black-bellied

Plover and a S n ip e# Never mind* Today I’m going to 
shoot a Marbled Godwit and put myself ahead of him again*
