T. Code 1958 Averavia interpres 20 June Barrow - two seen foraging together on high clitter polygon ground just west of Central Marsh in the morning. 1-22 June Barrow - 2 to 3 pairs seen daily around T9-18 and T1e2. 23 June - B. work and I watched a fox eat an egg from a turnstone nest. The nest was an unlined depression on a polygon in a wettil area but with elevated sides. "Barrow" type ground - napped soil with much crestone lichen - patches of moss and a thin scattering of sedges. Against this background the harlequin pattern of the sitting turnstone makes the bird very difficult to see indeed. Apparently, the nest contained but one egg. July One seen at Coal Mine, My Code River One was seen flying and heard calling over the nillage around 1700. It was blocked down stalan.
