Birding Walk: Ashford – 22 August 2026

We will arrange to have the gate opened from 08:00am to meet and go through the formalities. The walk will start at 08:30am. Depending on the numbers, we will set up groups with different leaders. The walk should take about one and a half hours and will include a stroll along their forested area, the dam and if time permits, a walk in the grasslands. (Please note, there has been some flood damage to their forest walk, but we will make the best of what is available!)

The walk will be followed by a “bring your own” picnic, however, coffee / tea will be available at the Pavilion after the walk

At this stage the weather for the 22^nd looks reasonable but cool. (Partly cloudy with a max of 17C). As we know things can and will change, come prepared – it will be cool and probably a little damp

As always, don’t forget the cameras, binoculars, hats and if possible, some comfortable waterproof walking shoes

For those who have not visited the farm before, drive out from Plett to the airport. The farm is just opposite the airport turn off on the right-hand side of the road. We will have some committee members at the entrance to direct you and will display the bird club banner at the entrance.

Look forward to seeing you all!

PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR MAILBOX IN CASE THE WEATHER IS BAD AND WE HAVE TO RESCHEDULE!!
