Halswell Quarry Thur 28 Feb - a very quiet morning.

We had a very quiet morning at the Quarry catching only 8 birds but with 6 species at least we had a bit of variety. There were 2 Greenfinch, and 1 each of Dunnock, House Sparrow, Fantail, Grey Warbler and 1 new Silvereye and a recap which was banded 308 days ago and is the oldest Silvereye recapture we have made.

The Fantail was caught when it flew into a net as Phil was putting it up and is the first of the species that he has fully processed.
