night roost, consisting of perhaps 15 or 20 twigs, but it is strong enough for him to lie down on. He was lying on it yesterday, but at that time, although I saw signs of it, I assumed that the twigs were merely deadwood. Closer inspection shows that they have been placed there. The platform is about one foot above the location of nest 5 of last year. B uses platform 9:00 P.M. On several occasions during the rest of the afternoon B was seen or heard at this point, and when his bed-time came, went up and occupied the platform. Curiously, a few minutes before this, Bb was seen wandering about in the branches of the trees as if seeking his resting place for the night, and to my surprise, he selected the identical branch in the acacia which Brownie uses as an alternative roost. Nova here. Nova (presumably from Brownie's interest in that direction) could be heard scrapping in the vicinity of the old oak. He listened acutely and for a few moments seemed disposed to go and investigate, but was evidently convinced that everything was in proper order, so did not. Bb not chased today. No chasing of Bb was seen during the day, although he and B were often not far apart and within plain view of each other. Nb? Nb was not certainly seen during the day, but there were signs of his being more or less with Nova. (Sounds). N answers B's calls. Nova responded to B's calls from the dormitory tree more than once closely but would not approach if I was near at the time. Pat a fixture? Pat still goes in and out of the Reynolds aviary perfectly at home Neo less so. Neo is seen less often. B goes into Reynolds aviary. Brownie, almost certainly, though I was not there to see it, has also been in the aviary, and taken worms from the hand of a member of the household while there.
