Birdwatching

Alftanes is a peninsula in the vicinity of our capital city Reykjavik. Brent Geese is a regular guest there. The Brent Geese that breed in Canadian Arctic are of the light-bellied subspecies - Branta Bernicla hrota.
They winter in Ireland and are passage migrants in Iceland in spring and autumn. High Arctic bird, circumpolar in distribution. Other subspecies have darker belly.

3. Hands-on waterbirds identification
4. Birdwatching

On each day 40 learners (Grades 4 - 6) and their teachers will join the volunteers from BirdLife Port Natal and the Durban Botanic Gardens to learn about birds, how they use wetlands, how they link different wetlands (e.g. the White-winged Flufftail is a very rare bird that migrates between the wetlands of Ethiopia and those of South Africa, the only two places on earth where this species occurs) and different countries. They will also get the opportunity to watch birds through binoculars and bird scopes - an activity that is usually greatly enjoyed by all.

A cycle trip for Wetlands International staff and families is planned along the famous Ooijpolder, a flood plain wetland on the River Waal, an area of international importance for migratory and resident waterbirds. The trip aims to provide a first time introduction to migratory waterbirds and their identification. Many of these birds, such as the Black Tern, will have recently returned to the Netherlands from Africa to breed here.

A bird walk was organized along Old Kasauli Road to Jangeshu and a list of birds was made.
