The latest African birdlife magazine is now on sale. Again it is a must read issue.It has a great pic of a Yellow Weaver taken by Charl Senekal on the front cover.
Articles include: Eggs unscrambled. A fascinating story on why birds lay eggs written by Professor Andrew McKechnie, supported with photographs of nests and eggs by South Africa’s leading photographic expert on the topic Warwick Tarbotten .
The Animal Demography Unit has an informative feature on the citizen science participation that is growing in leaps and bounds , in SA , to help record sightings of all bird species across the country. Scientists are now far better equipped to give us the early warning signals on the conservation status of each species.
The magazine also features an exciting new series on bird photography which will help all of us no matter how good or bad we think we are. Charl Senekal’s work is featured and it is absolutely brilliant
