It was a 4-watch day today, so we've all
exhausted & in bed by 8:30. Highlights: I
found a brown vine snake eating a gecko-like

island (or anywhere else, in fact). Their jaws
were locked together & neither was moving,

There's a dominance scuffle in progress at CAS -
VGG (EH) was chasing everyone but the un804
seemed dominant to him. (chased back when
chased, & did pip flights & solo dances (no ?)
untested).

each did a watch at BRI (I saw
ARA & BOW dance for a female, as

staking nests. My nest near S/N 1
had WB - (G) feeding - probably WB,
who formerly nested in land
