Miramar Bird Banding Session

i 31st March, 2015
The silvereye – also known as the wax-eye, or sometimes white eye.

Bird banding data are useful in both research and management projects.
Individual identification of birds makes possible studies of dispersal, social structure, life-span, survival rate and population growth etc.
On the weekend we had some bird banding people visiting the peninsula bush. In just a few hours we got 19 birds. Mostly silvereyes, but also some grey warblers and a fantail. Very exciting.
Let us know if u see any banded birds around :D
