IN A MAGIC PLACE
"Yesterday mum and I went up to 'Supplejack Gully,' so called because of all the supplejacks that arc there. Such a lot of native trees aud creepers were in flower there too —clematis, lawyer, native michaelmas, daisy, fivefinger or native fig, and konini, while there were supplejacks laden with green berries. "Farther up, the gully was inhabited with tuis. Tuis, tuis every where; and in nearly every tree there was a nest. We even saw a tree with three nests in it, while everywhere you could hear the tuis singing. Mum found a nest very carefully hidden in the arms of a tree, which was all entangled with creepers, and in the nest there lay four wee eggs. They are the first tuis' eggs I have seen." "SUNSET" (11). Carterton.
