Just to let you know that I will be joining Donella Young who is the CAR (Co-ordinated Avifaunal Roadcount) co-ordinator at the ADU (Animal Demogrpahic Unit) at UCT (University of Cape Town), tomorrow, Saturday the 30th of January, to work out a new route for counting birds, from Villiersdorp. The CAR count is a twice-yearly count (once in summer and once in winter) to count large birds on farms and in fields. It has been going for quite a number of years and the data collected has brought great results. These counts take place on the same day all over the country and only birds like cranes, bustards, korhaans and Spurwing geese are counted.
I will let you know how the day went and hopefully put up some pictures for you. I am hoping that this new route which will start in Villiersdorp, will be a route that we as a club can take responsibility for in the future.
By the way, if you would like to leave a comment here on this blog, just look at the bottom of this message for the word "comment" and click on it. Leave us your thoughts, we'd love to hear from you.

Robyn
