Halswell Quarry Cirl Buntings

Post by Adam C »

Nice to see at least 3 Cirl Buntings today at Halswell Quarry. A male and female in the usual spot (the wee grass gully recently planted between the bike track and the kurashiki gardens) and one male perched on a fence on the Northern boundary on thee top track which gave me a pretty good photo op! No sign of the Vic Park birds recently.
