Ever wondered how bird observations, such as the one of this yellow-billed hornbill in the Mokala National Park, contribute to real scientific research?

Join the Gariep Bird Club for a workshop to learn how ordinary birders can make an extraordinary contribution to conservation through citizen science.

Discover how bird records help scientists monitor species, track environmental change, and support conservation efforts across South Africa.

You do not have to be a seasoned birder to join the event on Saturday 27 June from 08:30 to 12:00 at the McGregor Museum in Kimberley.

Club members attend free of charge, students pay R15 and non-members R50.

Visit gariepbirdclub.org.za or Gariep Bird Club on Facebook for more information on the event, on birds and birding, and on how to join the club.
