Birdwatching

Our birding field trip consist in birdwatching initiation to GAMA founder Members. we will visit SALé coastal cliffs to look for an Eleonorae Falcon colony and then we will leave to Sidi Bou Ghaba lake which is a RAMSAR site and where some scarce watefowl species occur.

BirdLife South Africa and the local bird guides will be teaching UTAKA PRIMARY SCHOOL learners and the members of Wakkerstroom Bird Club about the importance of water on migratory bird species. On May, 3, 2007 there will be a bird watching event aroud Wakkerstroom.

The event will start with a radio programme followed by field trip (birdwatching),seminar and a quiz competition. The whole exercise will last for four days and we hope to bring together students, scientists, government representatives and many more at the Aberdeen Creek (part of the only Ramsar site in Sierra Leone) that is under threats from constructional purposes (shelter, recreational facilities...).

CORBIDI plans to join the celebrations for the World Migratory Bird Day by conducting bird conservation discussion sessions and a birdwatching field trip. The observation of wild birds in their natural habitat is not a common and well understood activity in Perú. As part of CORBIDI\'s mission statement, we intend to promote the study and appreciation of migratory (and resident) birds and their habitat, ultimately fostering their conservation. The field trip will have as participants a group of high-school students from Huamachuco, department of La Libertad, northern Perú.

We are a land trust and will create these events on our properties, many of which have excellent birding potential for the returning species.
We are cooperating with MBTAAdvocates,Inc, seeking to protect the future for migratory birds, through perpetuation of the Treaties with other countries.
