Heroes` weekend is coming up....combined with school holidays..so a few
of you will certainly be going away,right?! For those of you staying behind
in town, Richard will be leading the Lake Chivero Bird Sanctuary bird
walk this Sunday and I can guarantee that if you stick close behind him
- are attentive and quiet - you WILL see some very good birds! Enjoy!
Sunday 8 August 7.00 a.m : Lake Chivero Bird Sanctuary
Last month some really good birds were reported eg. Little Bittern, White-backed
Vulture, African Rail, Red-chested Flufftail, Bennett`s Woodpecker. Come
& see them and others for yourself! Meet at Marimba Shopping Centre,
Samora Machel Avenue West.
Other business:
I hope in the end you were all able to open and read the latest issue
of The Babbler. Unfortunately, there have been errors. Here are the ones
spotted so far - please correct them in your copy.
In the calender of events of forthcoming activities for the Mashonaland
branch:
-The visit to Greystone Park Nature Preserve is on Saturday 18 September
not the 26th.
-The next two visits to Lake Chivero Bird Sanctuary are this Sunday 8
August and then next month on 12 September (not 12 August!)
In the Controls table (accompanying the Seldom Seen ringing outing article)
of birds retrapped on 19-20 June that were originally ringed at Seldom
Seen, the last bird listed should be a Yellow-streaked Greenbul....(not
a Sunbird!)
What must I say? I`m sorry! Any volunteers to help me proof read the next
issue as I`m clearly blind?!
Take care & Happy birding!
