HERE’S A TIP:
The Grootvadersbosch valley is a hidden gem. It’s secluded and quiet.
And aside from the odd passing cyclist, you could find yourself immersed in the sounds of nature (and nothing else).
It’s during these quiet moments that you could hear the bird calls of those shy and elusive birds.
So make the most of these peaceful forest- and fynbos moments to find those bird species
not yet ticked off on your list.
ASIDE FROM THE CONSERVANCY - you also have ideal birding routes just outside the small town
of Heidelberg. See what you're likely to identify, here and connect on Facebook.
