See still a third single thrush alone. Again almost certainly same species. Forehead light, altho [[underline]] far [[/underline]] from white (possibly forehead slightly streaked).

5:15. See 2 more thrushes alone
Still more single thrushes, and pairs, alone. All at distance. Apparently all same species.
See a single wren alone. Apparently House Wren

5:22 Starting to rain.
See a pair of wrens. Apparently alone. Peeping & singing.

[[margin in red]]CC[[/margin]]
5:37 Hear a brief burst of what sounds like CC Song. Half "semi-twitter," half obvious triplet. Typical phrase probably "Ta-a-zee ta-a-zee ta-a-zee ta-a-zee"
Last 2 trisyllables quite clear and distinct. First 2 uttered so rapidly as to be almost indistinguishable. Songs coming from Eucalypt where CC sung on previous trip.

Leaving 5:50 pm., as rain getting stronger. 
It certainly doesn't look as if anything is breeding here now

I think I can hear a few birds (over the roar of the stream) in the distance, but can't identify them.

Quite a large number of birds singing before 5:45 am. Many
