A small group of us had a session at the Quarry this morning. As we were using the same net site as the last session I did not expect a large catch so was pleasantly surprised to get a bigger number. Caught 20 birds as against 13 last session. There were 18 new and 2 recaptures of 5 species, Silvereyes made up the bulk with 14 new, Blackbird 2 new and 1 recap, 1 each Greenfinch and Bellbird with a recap Dunnock making up the total. Both the recaps were the oldest recaptured at the Quarry, Dunnock 784 days and the Blackbird 588.
