\u2019n Omgewingspesialis van Kimberley wat die yskoue en diep Kamfersdam buite die stad aangedurf het om \u2019n beseerde kleinflamink te red wat op \u2019n webkamera deur internetkykers in Amerika raakgesien is, is nou di\u00e9 natuurliefhebbers se heldin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ester van der Westhuizen-Coetzer, omgewingspesialis van die Ekapa-mynmaatskappy, meen die flamink wat sy gered het, is waarskynlik beseer toe dit op die water probeer land en sy een been aan \u2019n uitheemse suidwesdoringboom gehaak het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Africam het \u2019n paar maande gelede \u2019n webkamera in samewerking met Ekapa en BirdLife Suid-Afrika op die kant van Kamfersdam geplaas. Die oogmerk is om kykers oor die w\u00eareld heen op hoogte te hou van die wildlewe rondom die dam, asook watervo\u00ebls soos groot- en kleinflaminke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was op Woensdag 1 Junie met \u2019n vergadering besig toe ek boodskappe kry dat kykers in Amerika die beseerde vo\u00ebl op die kamera gesien het. Ek is gevra om die vo\u00ebl te gaan red. Ons het gesien die flamink was nogal ver in die dam en ek het nie geweet hoe diep die water is nie. Daar is nie baie flaminke nie omdat die water so diep is. Ek skat daar is seker sowat 200 grootflaminke en 100 kleinflaminke. Daar is glo meer flaminke op vlakker panne tussen die stad en Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het my waterbroek aangetrek en sowat 150 m in die water ingeloop. Die broek hou die water uit, maar beslis nie die koue nie. Ek het die vo\u00ebl se been van die tak losgehaak, hom uitgedra en in \u2019n handdoek toegedraai om hom warm te hou. Hy was darem nog lewendig genoeg om na my te byt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was binne \u2019n halfuur by dr. Donovan Smith, plaaslike veearts, vir behandeling. Ons sal hom vrylaat sodra hy gesond en die omstandighede reg is,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Africam-kamera kan \u2019n omtrek van 360 grade teen ho\u00eb resolusie afneem en baie ver inzoem. Die hele redding is opgeneem en op sosiale media uitgesaai. Indien die flamink herstel, sal die vrylating ook opgeneem word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smith s\u00ea dit is \u2019n volwasse vo\u00ebl, maar die geslag is onbekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit lyk nie of die been gebreek is nie, maar die ligamente en spiere is beseer. Ek behandel die flamink met antibiotikum en pynmedikasie by die spreekkamer. Ek hoop hy of sy herstel goed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
