Mary, Kate, Katherine and I had another attempt to catch Tui at the Karori Cemetery this morning. With re-positioned nets we had hopes of a better catch than on Monday but it was not to be, we only caught 1. As well we did manage to also catch 6 Blackbirds and 2 Song Thrush. The Song Thrush were only the 5th & 6th we have caught at this site in the 10 years we have been banding there.

There was no sign of any Bellbird today but there were a surprising number of Keraru about and we had a fly over of 3 Parakeets, the first I have seen there, almost certainly "escapees" from Zealandia.
