After months of frustrating delays, due to Covid and other issues, on Tuesday we finally had a trial run with our newly developed Harrier trap. Although we were only successful in banding one bird it was a very useful trial and another attempt will hopefully be made soon.

Today Thursday, I went to the South Island Wildlife Hospital at Willowbank to band some rehab birds. It was planned to band a Harrier and a Little Owl. As it turned out there was a second Harrier and two Kingfishers as well as the Little Owl. I thought it was a very successful visit, the first of hopefully many more.
