when i was not able to record the data)


You are exhibiting discourteous posting behavior by failing to include context. Nabble is not r-help. Read the Posting Guide.

Here is a worked example using base plotting functions. The data was read into a dataframe with this structure:

> str(dat)
'data.frame':   11 obs. of  5 variables:
 $ scan.no: num  24 78 61 64 64 64 65 73 79 82 ...
 $ bird.no: num  5 48 105 122 124 ...
 $ date   : Date, format: "2011-04-29" "2011-04-29" ...
 $ time   : chr  "21:17:56" "21:20:08" "21:24:58" "21:25:05" ...
 $ height : num  357 131 432 673 123 479 269 131 356 378 ...


plot(dat$date, dat$height, xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=dat$date[c(1,11)], # only plot beginning and ending month names labels=month.abb[ 1+as.POSIXlt(dat$date[c(1,11)])$mon], # add 1 to index
                             # the month.abb constant vector
        line=2,              # shifts these down
        lwd=0)  # this sppress the extra axis lines
axis(1, at=dat$date, labels=as.POSIXlt(dat$date)$mday) # plot the days

The aggregate function could be used to calculate daily means and sd's you mentioned in an earlier posting.
