" [Rose Harbour] Aug. [August] 16/46 [1946].
Examined a Rhino [rhinoceros auklet] colony found by
Charlie [Guiguet] yesterday. It occupies the east
base of Moore Point + two other small
points in the bay immediately east of
the point. We went to the colony just
at dark, reaching it about 9:15. As
we approached 7 birds flushed. Birds
were crossing in + continued to
come in some numbers until
about 10:30 after which there was
a lull with just the occassional [occasional] bird
coming or going. Between midnight
and 2 o'clock quite a few birds came
in + about 2:30 the exodus started
to reach a peak as the dawn started
to break between 3 + 3:30. By 4 o'clock
the colony was quiet.
