Join us as this week as we share more about the wonders of migration, and learn how all of us can help share our space with birds.

#WorldMigratoryBirdDay #birdlife #birdlifeinternational

One of our jobs is to make sure that there will always be safe places for migrants to return to. That's why we're tracking European Rollers as they make their way north, and protecting crucial habitats like the Berg River Estuary: africanbirdlife.org.za/2025/05/09/b...

Billions of birds make their way each year across vast oceans and scorching deserts, driven by changing seasons and a safe haven in which to breed.

The field season comes to an end as White-winged Flufftails disappear from the high-elevation wetlands along the eastern escarpment where the research focus is on for now. Until they return, the team will focus on other aspects of wetland conservation in the winter.

From countless early mornings to challenging terrain, our team has gone through it all to meticulously collect data that could be a game-changer for this rare and elusive bird species.

Unfortunately, seabirds are one of the most threatened groups of birds in the world, (15 out of 22 species of albatross are threatened with extinction!), which is why the work done by our incredible conservationists at BirdLife South Africa is so important.

405 learners were engaged in various activities including basic bird identification and introduction to the Bird of the Year 2025.
