Journal 11 July Meacle River Coal Mine, 15225'W,70937'N, Black Head Western Sweep. per. Not so many Semipal on the Crucicularea area as usual, but still kept a dozen or so. The Black-bellies still in breeding. A few & pectoralis in the nearby area along the edge of the lake but not yet in the hollow Cave. The Phalaropes were conspicuous in these areas. The Parasitic Jaegers now have chicks, and both dive at and give the distraction light. Ray eventually found the chicks, which I didn't see. I went up to Soot Ridge. As I came out of the polygonal-like area, I noticed a Western albatross nest. It began to rain and so I went in and sat on 8 chicks, which I cocked. Semipal and golden plover in the area. Soot: I find 10 6-7. Jaeger's nest. Went back through the census plot. A lot of shore bird activity near the Sitzes, including Plover, Turnstone and Areniboles, but I hadn't the time to search for chicks. The turnstone followed me to the 1,2 marker, scolding all the way. Seven wagtails (Spring) soldier near this mine. In the evening went back to photograph the Black-billy nest. Plus the Pannizan not flushed a 7 from about 7 chicks, of which I took one. There 3 N. Phalarope that acted like I had chicks in L. Agassiz near here. Couldn't find Western's again. Went onto Luscombe plot
