P. PEARSON 1952 47 Mar 15 Morning overcast, no frost. Most of day cloudy, considerable rain 2-4pm, but evening mostly clear. 2 Abdon bolin. in my traps (1 adult?, 1 half grown) in bla-grass. Quite a few spring-empty. Watched turner nest. After dark out on flats saw a glow-worm in the grass (= a 1/4-inh larva, quite luminous). Sun Mar 16 Day mostly clear, windy in afternoon. Treezz told 1 Chrysop, 2 Abdon bolin (one < 1/2 grown), 1 Ph-jectus, and 2 unknown mice. These look like young pale pectus but have white patches behind the ears. Several spring-empty again both along base of cliff and in the bla (the mystery mice were in bla). Picked up the bla live and put 5 Orset traps along the base of cliff in holes of Abdoman. Abundant nigroba droppings low but have seen no micechas. At 7:30 the telegrapher came up from Treezz on his bicycle to tell me of 2 Tivazan nests, so we drove down and had a look at them, then back here at lunch-time so as not miss too much at this nest. Quite put out a bla live. Night clear, windy. Mar 17 Heavy frost, temp -24°, ice-plain. Nothing in my traps. Nest 1 still incubating, so left Annie in charge of it and walked down to the Treezz nests to spend a day or 2. 1 1/4 hrs to nest 3, where I built a blind of stones. Mar 18 Watched nest 3. Heavy frost + some ice. No rain. Mar 19 Frost + ice in a.m. Watched nest until 11:30, then home over the ridge rather than via wood. Temp at bla had been -24° both mornings. Light rain in afternoon. Evening overcast. Mar 20 Morning cloudy-misty. Temp -34° at 5:50 a.m. Most of day
