We had a session at the Cashmere Rd site this morning which was vey disappointing. Only 8 birds were caught with 6 Silvereyes, 1 Blackbird and a House Sparrow. All were new. There were a lot of birds about but with unexpected bright sunshine and trees still bare the nets were very obvious.

| Today's team, left Chris a L3 permit holder and a very good trainer, Vanessa, Della and Steph doing some banding. |
Some other recent Banding
On my way back from a trip down south I called in at the Raptor Trust in Timaru and banded a couple of rehab birds. A Harrier and a Little Owl, all going well both should be released soon.
 |
| For the first time with a rehab bird we colour banded the harrier |
It was a young bird with brown eyes and plumage.
We have also managed to catch and band another Harrier locally.
 |
| Although both birds were male this one is an old fella with a pale yellow eye and lighter plumage. |
