Don't Miss The 2011 RBM Annual Birdwatch

Getting up close and personal with an Eagle Owl

The 2011, Richards Bay Minerals annual "Birdwatch" is a highlight on the Zululand eco-tourism calender with birders flocking from across the country to enjoy some of Richards Bay's best birding.

The event kicks off with an evening talk on Friday the 4th November by Shanan and Ben Hoffman of the African Birds of Prey Sanctuary. The talk will introduce the public to the fascinating world of raptors and include an "up close and personal" opportunity to experience these majestic birds.

Saturday the 5th Novmber's program starts off with guided birding walks at Lake Nhlabane in the RBM lease area. Lake Nhlabane and the surrounding forests is a legendary birding site along the Zululand Birding Route as it provides the southern most location to see species such as Livingstone's Turaco, Woodward's Batis, Southern-banded Snake Eagle and a host of water birds from Pygmy Geese to African Finfoot.

The weekend is specifically designed to get the public involved and out there birding, it does not matter if you are a seasoned "twitcher" or casual beginner - the RBM Birdwatch event is an ideal family weekend out!
