44 FEECers, 4 staff members and 4 CBC guides spent a fantastic afternoon on foot with binocs at False Bay Nature Reserve.
To name a few, we enjoyed first sightings of the year of running Flamingos, Herons, Ibises, Yellow Billed Ducks, Teals, Shovelers, Stilts, Swallows, Cormorants, Geese, and, of course, juvenile and adult Kelp Gulls aplenty!
With a close up view of the Strandfontein Solid Waste Plant, we all now have a fresh picture in our minds of where ‘away’ actually is, and an opportunity to rethink our rubbish throwing habits… Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repeat!
The Cape Bird Club members who assisted were Michelle Vrettos (who prepared the excellent information leaflet on “Different ways of feeding in water”, Joy Fish, Gillian Barnes and Priscilla Beeton. Thank you!
