wr reached by 11. Fished then until 4 P. M. when wr hoed out. S. I myself took in all about 50 small fish only one (my take) reaching a pound weight. Saw three broods of Partridges but as they were uncommonly wild and had nothing but my rifle I did not kill any. One brood of about a dozen poor from half open showing among the firms, going up one or two at a time. If I had my B. loader I think I could have got 5 or 6 down on the ground at once. S. spent most of the day shooting along the path and bagged Canadella's Petrao Carn. with a number of smaller birds, including a very young Empidonas which I think must be Ocellini, heard a G. Phil near an old camp & S. saw the bird clearly. Find a number of Orots with my rifle at a giving large White Donald's which kept dailing about over my head but did not succeed in hitting him. At th farm at the Cross Place I had heard on our last trip some C. Jalasia twittering after dark & hearing the farms this morning.
