Dear Members
Sunday 7 August at 6.30am BIRDLIFE TROGONS will
visit Umdoni, Pennington where Andrew & Ivan Pickles will be bird
ringing. Bring cameras, chairs, and breakfast. Mark Brown has previously
done some extensive ringing in this reserve so
perhaps we could get some of his ringed birds. There are always plenty of birds
to see here so those who want to are free to walk any of the walking trails
through the forest. (Sorry, no braai afterwards).
Directions
Take the N2 towards Durban – take exit 93 for R102
toward Sezela. Turn right onto
R102. Travel 4.8km then turn right into
Pennington Drive.
After 655m turn right into Minerva Avenue. Continue straight to Umdoni Park entrance,
enter the boom gate; bear right (west) at the sign for 'Enviro Centre';
(Set GPS to DD MM SS.S = S30 23 32.2 E30
41 21.7) follow the dirt road (cautiously, especially in the dark,
watching for Blue Duiker, Bushbuck, Genets and Caracal crossing) past the Enviro
Centre until you reach Andrew's "bird ringing" signs he'll place to the left of
the road.
ALL WELCOME. There is a R20pp
charge for non-members of Birdlife Trogons.
Please
let Andrew know on 082 338 3302 if you will be attending the
outing.
Outings may be cancelled due
to weather. To check, phone Andrew Pickles before setting off. For further
details & directions telephone* Andrew or visit the blog www.birdlifetrogons.blogspot.com. ** Please note we cannot respond to text messages or
“call me” requests.
