Saturday morning, Robyn and Adel and our guest, Felicity Ellmore, went bird ringing in the Wild Flower Garden. It was a wonderful warm day and the birds were buzzing all around us.
We ringed about 50 birds, most of them White-eyes. I can't believe there are still White-eyes that I have not ringed yet. One of the White-eyes had some feathers missing from the top of beak. Not sure why.
We also caught our first Yellow Bishop, still in non-breeding colours.
We also caught a very handsome looking Southern Masked-weaver and he had a strange mark in his eye.
A cheeky Speckled Mousebird was hanging around but refused to fly into the net so didn't get to ring him.... this time!
I have started my own personal bird blog so feel free to have a look at it here.
