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.
This will be followed by a Beginner's Bird Identification Course held at the University of Limpopo in April to teach people the basics of bird identification and to appreciate them.
