Here we are ... slowly getting things organized under the new regime. It seems the the bird life has followed Peter south as numbers still are low even after pre-feeding. Although there is a good deal of pest control at the zoo there were a number of very active rats to keep us entertained in the quieter moments.
Ros & Annette were the level 3 banders that supervised an eager crew. And the totals for the day were:
House Sparrow 12(2)
Dunnock 2
Fantail 1
Black Bird 1
Hello Peter. It's good to meet a fellow ringer on the other side of the world. I didn't know that you had redpolls in NZ until now. They are an intersting and rather troublesome family I agree and as you have read, in 2018 we are to revert to the situation in 2000. By all means use what information you like from my blog. I will now try to keep track of the redpoll debate in New Zealand.
