K.E. Annerman 1964 Sand - Johnston Mar 21 - Scoties. One or two greyharks were seen and an occasional Common Waddy. All the activity occurred during the morning, when we were on the NW side of the reef. Very few, if any, birds were seen in the afternoon on the other side - time or location or both? Mar 22 - Binnin returned from the locwned trip and arrived here about 1100. Cameron Loersburg (Y.N.A., U.S.N.) arrived shortly after this. He will escort 300 Scoty Terns back. Mar 23 - Collected 16 Scoties for release at sea from the U.S.C.G. Planetree tomorrow. Nos. 1-8 numbered in red, will be released 0800. Nos. 9-16 in blue will be let loose at 1500. All from eggs by left of transmitter. Collected 300 Scoties for Loersburg from in front of the dock and on the road to the dump. Perhaps 1/3 of these were not on eggs, though they may have had mates which were. Mar 24 - No sign of released Scoties. Binnin and I observed some interesting things in the Scoties during the afternoon. Several birds left their eggs for short periods (less than a minute to 2-3 minutes),
