7:55. Going down footpath on western slope of 
[[left margin  20 in red]]mountain, just below Police Station (I have never been here before). See single Yellowbelly [[red checkmark over Yellowbelly]] Definitely alone. 2 ft up in a very thick AS. Feeding on small fruits. 
[[W?]] it is turning very warm now 8:30 a.m. Sun shining brightly. Wind weaker than before. Going back along usual path. 
8:50 Finally see large mixed flock. In one of the usual places. Region of very mixed record growth with a few rather scattered tall mature trees. [[  X  HO green pencil 112 in margin]]

Group as a whole coherent. Noisy. Lots of "CN"s. Cy also sings repeatedly. Phrase after phrase.  All or most with "Tsit" Intro Notes. NODWA.[[underline]] Cnemoscopus[[/underline]] apparently in lead most of the time. But Whitebeard, GT's, Sittis, also in lead, occasionally, for brief periods of time.  GT's certainly eating fruits.[[underline]] Conirostrum [[/underline]] spp. certainly insects. The Cnemoscopus fight among themselves (as usual).

 The WCC's and the Sitti(s) are [[underline]]not [[/underline]] associating particularly closely with one another. But the WCC's [[underline]]are[[/underline[[ usually or always further behind in the flock that the Sitti(s). Neither [[underline]]Conirostrum [[/underline]] spp. shows any obvious tendency to associate with Cy.
Blue & Oranges frequently from the rear guard.
