  • Birds of the Crocodile River Reserve

    Join us on Sunday the 23rd of August when Justin Henry, Vulture Project Manager at Birdlife SA, will be speaking about the birds of the Crocodile River Reserve.

    Occupying the transition between the grassland and savanna biomes, the diversity in habitats supports an impressive bird list of 255 recorded species. From expansive grasslands, rocky slopes, wetlands and wooded koppies, the Reserve is a host for specials such as the African Grass Owl, Orange River Francolin and Crimson- breasted shrike.

    Come and learn about the birds that call the Crocodile River Reserve home, and those that visit at different times of the year. Whether you are a seasoned twitcher or just getting into birds, this talk will cover bird identification, mobile apps, the importance of citizen science, and much more!

    Special mention will be made on the status of the country’s vultures, a highly threatened bird group, and the work being done to mitigate the threats they face.

    This fascinating talk will be taking place at the Four Wheel Drive Club of SA, 50 Gemstone Road (off the R511) on Sunday the 23rd , 9h00 to 11h00. The cost is R95 per adult and R45 per child.
