63 We went into some new country - but found it too thoroughly settled - Nevertheless we got a Pigeon Owl and a new kind of Hawk - smaller than the Goshawk with a yellow eye. The Pigeon Owl 'Amur's' flid his tail dragging stant as before. Both the owl and the Hawk in this case were eating insects. In the way home I finally got one of the little Black and White singing grasspits - I believe we shall call it for convenience Melodious grasspilt as it has a lovely little song. It is much like a Black Sed estu but not so local - ranges over a whole pasture and is rarer. I have not yet located a female of this species - May may be mistaken for females Sedictus. Also found another of the Sedictus nest, building. The bird flushed at twilight, The nest was the same flat structure as before. While about the settlement.
