NAM Verbeek 1966 Calidris pusillus (3) 26 June. The Semipals on the Drum Area seem to be less active these days, which may mean that the territories are more firmly established or perhaps it is merely the result of poor weather, which we have had for the last 3-4 days. 27 June. The Semipals on the Drum Area have definitely settled down. Only when you walk through the area do you provoke some chasing. 30 June Found one more nest (#7) with 4 eggs on the Drum Area, about 100 m. S of Nest #1. Earlier in the afternoon we finished a female of a nest with 3 eggs along the road between AACS and Micro Met. (#8) Found another new nest (#9) with 2 eggs at 22:00 (on the Drum area). Could this be a renesting? New nest (#10) on Drum Area E of Telephone pole 23 (29m). with 3 eggs. The nest with two eggs (#9) still has two eggs. Several 3 July. #5 nest has no eggs left.
