| Parties of 2, 6, 4 and 2 seen along the Hay River Track between -23.106 deg. South and 24.947 S . Appears that this is a very seldomly visited area. |

| Mon 8 | | Spectacled Monarch
Nhulunbuy Town Lagoon |
|
| Early on Monday 8th July I observed an immature Spectacled Monarch in the monsoon vine thicket at Nhulunbuy town lagoon, approximate GPS -12.1771, 136.7842. At lunchtime today (9th) we relocated the bird in the same spot, loosely associating with Arafura Fantail and Little Shrikethrush and foraging for insects. It also displayed some territorial behaviour, chasing off a few smaller honeyeaters. |
