OUTING – Majik Forest, Bellville. Leader: Kevin Drummond-Hay.

Meet at: 08h30.
Kevin Drummond-Hay, a member of our neighbouring Tygerberg Bird Club, will
introduce us to the Majik Forest, a garden in the Northern Suburbs with a wealth of shrubs, forested
areas, dams, and flowing streams. We can expect to see: Red-faced and White-backed Mousebirds,
Acacia Pied Barbet, Bar-throated Apalis, African Paradise Flycatcher. The last TBC outing to this venue
achieved a count of 40 species for the morning. The walk will be approximately 2 hours. If anyone
wants to do some extra birding, we can proceed to Doordekraal Dam just up the road. Bring along
chairs to enjoy your refreshments on the lawn under the trees.
Directions: From N1 take the off-ramp to Jip De Jager. At the bottom of the ramp turn left into Jip
De Jager. Continue on this road for approximately 5kms until you reach the intersection at Van
Riebeeckshof Road. Stay in the middle lane till you are across the lights and then immediately look for
parking on the left just after the lights.
