We had another quiet session at the Halswell Quarry this morning. We set up at a different area and although the catch was small it has as a Real Estate Agent would say "Heaps of Potential." The total caught was 7, 6 new and our first recapture there. Birds caught were -
2 House Sparrows, 2 Goldfinch, 1 Starling and 1 new and 1 recap Welcome Swallow. While attempting to catch its mate we actually caught the recap twice.

| Kenny with his and our, first Starling. |

| The first House Sparrow, a handsome male being banded. |
 |
| The two Goldfinch were caught together and are probably a pair, female on left, male on right. |
We will try again next week and with a few adjustments to the setup hope to do better.
