It seemed like numbers of both sellers and buyer were down. Not surprising considering the flooding and I would guess some people still being Covid gun shy.

But, there seemed to be more finches benched than I have seen at an Orange bird sale. Good numbers sold but many also went home. I notice Red-face Pytilias, Melbas, Blackhearts etc still unsold late in the day.

While the total numbers were good it felt like the variety was limited with many species represented in single digits (only 1 or 2 sellers).

Well organised venue as always, good weather, try to never miss it.

:thumbup: Not being into the "dark side" I have to admit they are a hansom pair.
Javas are pretty well up to dealing with anything as avairy mates, so good choice.
