We had a session at the Quarry on Thursday morning with beautiful conditions. Well beautiful to be in but a bit much sunshine for banding, making parts of some nets very visible as the sun came on them.
A good turn out of banders but unfortunately the bird numbers were below expectations. We caught a total of 15, all new. House Sparrows 6, Greenfinch 3, Silvereye 3, and 1 each of Chaffinch, Dunnock and the highlight of the day a Grey Warbler. The first for the year.
