Birdlife Polokwane will have a bird ringing (banding) day in the Polokwane Nature Reserve, South Africa, on 4 March 2017. We moved our World Migratory Bird Day to an earlier date as March/April is the peak passage time for migrants in the area. This will enable us to show people some of the migrants in the hand and explain a little about their plight and the challenges they face en route. The event is open to the public and notices are also sent to schools to participate.
