Castle Hill bird sale
Posted: 16 Jul 2019, 15:42
I had the misfortune of attending the Castle Hill bird sale on Sunday. I do not know how the organisers worked out
the layout but did they get it wrong.
Who ever decided to set up the pavilion needs to think more about the sellers and buyers.
Why they decided to give so much space to the trade tables is beyond me. All it did was jam up the walk ways which
meant people had to push through the crowd, access to the birds on sale was a battle and sellers struggled all day.
Having access to the hall prior to the sale I had chance to walk around and view what was on offer.
The range of finches was quite reasonable and it was a pity that conditions collapsed when the buyers were let in.
Available species on offer were numerous R Siskins,Parrot Finches, Orange Cheek W/Bills, Chaffinches, Singers,
Yellow Rumps, Blue Caps and Weavers to name a few.
We left early and I doubt if we will go back again.
