Ereunites puella
(Semi pal.)
May 22 Latemega Lows. Common. - Were present
on May 20 when we arrived. Some
displaying began yesterday. Considerably
more displaying evident today.
May 23 Frequently seen + heard displaying in
the air.
May 25 One pair near tent - heard one or two
mating. Seen down in numbers.
May 26 Recorded on afternoons walk. I think they
are commoner than the number would seem.
They are heard cranking their gears off+on
through the day.
May 27 Probably second commonest bird here. Not
only the Longpan. Seven pairs were
noted but probably this is way low.
Their displaying meter is heard all day.
There's a couple of birds fighting
about the tent, two males settling up
territories I think.
Three Semi pals came flying by down
river. One of above birds flew up &
gave continuous settling call they made
followed under them for 100 yds or so then
turned flew down.
