Everyone should gather there because… Todays the day you can once more walk along the path next to the river from the sea to the Three Dams. Frank Woodvine and his Malawian men together with some enthusiastic HBS members have hacked and pulled, slogged and cleared.… Continue reading Mossel River path renewal

This morning’s walk saw 12 Hurriers enjoying the Contour path above Voelklip in overcast, but exceptionally humid conditions. There was some chatter about the contours not being followed as there are some steep sections here and there, and we took the escape route down to 17th Avenue, rather than continuing to the end, but overall it was a good outing and… Continue reading The Contour Path above Voelklip
The Non-Cruise
Originally posted on roncorylus:
Around 20 Hermanus Bird Club members boarded the Lady Stanford this morning for a cruise on the Klein river, but the strong prevailing south-easter did not allow us to leave our moorings.

Peter was, as usual, a great and informative host and he made sure that we… Continue reading Birding on the Klein River

? Four couples, the Maphams, Meyers, Planes and the Turners set off from the New Harbour at 03h30 on Friday 30th January for the pelagic fishing grounds 50kms off Cape Point. Our small unique tailor made trip arranged by Walter Mapham on the “Majestic” was an unforgetable birding experience. Once the fishing trawlers were located we were able to get… Continue reading Pelagic Birding from Hermanus

Challenge Update

? After three months of the Challenge, a clear winner is emerging! Peter Dagg appears to be forging ahead inexorably. The rest of us will certainly have to pull finger and get to work if we want to catch up or pass him. Current leading scores are: Peter; 205 species worth 303 points Lester; 198 species worth 295 points… Continue reading Challenge Update
