Bird lists needed ahead of Sapphire Coast birding route launch
Even short bird lists will help contribute to the overall list for an area.
In the lead up to the annual Wagtail Conservation Festival, which will be held on 10 November at Amanzimtoti Sports Club this year, Sapphire Coast birders have been asked to help organisers develop bird lists.
“At the Wagtail Festival we will launch a Sapphire Coast birding route and we would like to have bird lists for various places on the route,” said organiser, Adam Cruickshank. “If you bird at the places listed, send the list of birds that you see to the email address provided. Only list birds that you are 100% sure you have seen – if you are unsure of a bird, rather leave it off.”
The places organisers would like lists for include:
1) Umbogavango Nature Reserve
2) Amanzimtoti Bird Park
3) Amanzimtoti Lagoon
4) Amanzimtoti Sports Club trails
5) Illovo River mouth
6) Burchells Coucal Eco Trail
7) The area around Renishaw Chapel.
