2009-05-31 (10)


Dieter Oschadleus presented a talk on Cape Weavers to the West Coast Bird Club on 30 May 2009. The bird club meets at Windstone farm, a farm that has a backpackers, riding centre, boarding kennels & cattery and is wanting to develop an educational centre. The West Coast Bird Club is a branch of BirdLife South Africa and is part of the flamingo route. We were hosted by Bill and Anna Dernier of Sandvelder B&B**** in Velddrif. Anna is chair of the West Coast Bird Club. On 31 May we ringed birds in their garden inbetween some drizzle, ringing 1 Southern Masked Weaver, 5 Cape Weavers and 8 other birds.
