Bird banding in Melbourne

FANTASTIC! The first time I saw a cannon net!

12th/Feb.~15th/Feb.
Wader banding with VWSG (Victorian Wader Study Group)

Red necked stint :119
(sooo small that it's hard to believe they migrate a long distance every year.)
Sharp sandpiper: 87
(They called it "sharpy". The tail of it is "sharp"!)
Curlew sandpiper: 8
(Amazing bird!)
Red capped plover: 1
(They are nesting)

Total amount: 216 with one cannon net in Yarra Creek

Next: 16th/Feb.~22th/Feb.
Bush bird banding with Monarch University

Hope you guys can pray for me far away from bushfire.
