5:56 a.m.  Sky clear.  Warm. Already light
           Lots of bird noise.  Lots of  hummingbirds.  Also Duburia Surgwig
           Lots of nugle thrushes flying around alone
           Birds much more quiet by 6:04 a.m.
           I have yet to [[underline]] see [[/underline]] the Duburia that is Singing.  Apparently perched low on scrub or in small tree.  But certainly
alone.

    Everything, except the Scans, very quiet and calm 6:40 a.m.
      6:50 Another area.  Low thick scrub by road.  Come across at least 2 [[ two check marks]] more [[rufruichas]] One uttering "Zlee" Notes.  Begging?  There presumably are the first birds seen in this area, a couple of days ago.  Certainly not pair seen yesterday or earlier this morning.  There are other birds not far off in same patch of scrub (including 1 "Peewee").  But I can't tell of they are really associated with the [[underline]] rufruichas [[/underline]] or not.
