We had a session at the Halswell Quarry this morning at a different site from the last couple of poor sessions. With some food put out during the week we were expecting a bigger catch, especially of House Sparrows. And that was what we got and not much else. The catch consisted of 56 birds, all except for a lone Greenfinch they were House Sparrows with 53 new and 2 recaps. Both the recaps were originally caught at other sites within the Quarry. Despite the lack of variety it was still a good morning especially for training, with the majority of birds being in moult the three trainees had a chance to extend their abilities.
