5 August Jogolake
said they have seen some in bversly
areas of the river bottom. Apparently
not very common, as I saw none on
my walks on this date.

minutes
Two adults in full summer dress
were seen in these willows just below
the upper lake where I have my mist
net set. They were very "dame" and
these may have been a brood around.
In the afternoon twice flushed
a ptarugian into my net, but it
managed to get loose both times.
Mesh too small to hold so large a
bird.

Once was seen in deep willow
brush at T.Z.-8.0. Like the other
two which I have seen, it was
reluctant to fly - no brood around-
and when pursued it escaped by
running. Only when very hard
pressed do they fly - then for only
a short distance - 30-40 yards. One
apparently had only a few tail feathers
and primaries may also have been
missing - hence the reluctance to fly.
