Summary:
A mist net deployed for birds, set (a) poorly and (b) properly. Rather than position the net across an animal trail in direct sunlight, it should be located in the shade adjacent to a high visitation area – in this case, between two nectar-bearing plants. Instead of leaning into branches with the base touching the ground and catching on sticks, the net should be at least 300 mm clear of vegetation either side of the net and the bottom shelf. Rather than sagging from a flimsy cane and a bright single guy rope, the net should be tensioned from a sturdy pole secured with two dull-coloured guy ropes, shelf strings evenly spaced. Note the personnel wearing dark clothing without external fasteners – buttons readily catch on mist nets and are difficult to remove. Photos by David Watson.
