BirdLife Sani

We've had an exciting and eventful last quarter at BirdLife Sani, filled with engaging activities and noteworthy achievements.

At our AGM, we gathered to reflect on our accomplishments and set new goals for the future. It was a fantastic opportunity for members to come together and contribute their ideas and insights.

One of the highlights of the quarter was a captivating talk by Nicolette Forbes at our AGM on the Restoration of the Lake St Lucia estuary. Her presentation provided us with a deeper understanding of the estuary's ecological significance and the importance of its conservation. The talk was well-received by our members, sparking lively discussions and generating new ideas for our own conservation efforts.

In recognition of their exceptional contributions to birding and our club, we awarded honorary memberships to three extraordinary individuals: Malcolm Gemmell, Trish Strachan, and Stuart McLean. These individuals have been instrumental in shaping our club since its inception in 2002, and their dedication and passion for birding have left a lasting impact on our community.

We also welcomed Trish Strachan on to our Committee holding the portfolio of Events and Activities CoOrdinator.

As we move forward, let's celebrate the accomplishments of our club and the remarkable individuals who have played a pivotal role in our journey. Their commitment to birding and their tireless efforts in advancing our club's mission deserve our utmost appreciation.

Together, we will continue to foster a vibrant birding community and make a positive impact on bird conservation. Let's embrace the spirit of collaboration and strive for even greater achievements in the coming months.

I am also looking forward to the KZN Forum at the end of September which is going to be held at Bonamanzi Game Reserve, Zululand, it is set to be a fantastic one so don’t miss out and go and register for it.
