STANFORD GLENDOWER BIRD FAIR 01 - 04 October 2009
We are greatly indebted to Edward Snell & Co for their generous sponsorship which makes this fair possible and for which we are extremely appreciative.
BirdLife Walkerbay are pleased to be hosting the sixth annual Stanford Glendower Bird Fair from 1st to 4th October 2009 and are delighted this year to be welcoming BirdLife Overberg who are joining us in co-hosting this auspicious occasion. Their involvement will add great value to the fair and will enable us to reach a much wider cross-section of the Overberg population. In addition their presence will add lustre to the fair and encourage a greater awareness of this unique avian event.
One of our highlights is going to be a presentation by Dr Anton Odendal on the Overberg Birding Route. He is highly regarded in his field and his planned publication will have a profound effect on avian tourism in the Overberg area. Apart from birding, the Overberg offers many unique attractions including fynbos, whales, sharks and many other areas of interest that collectively make the Overberg the place to be.
As usual, we have an array of interesting and well-informed tour guides along with a bit of light relief that includes free tasting of Glendower Whisky thanks to our generous sponsors. Prizegiving for our exciting photographic competition happens on Friday evening followed by a light supper and Angels on Horseback, a cabaret show fresh from On Broadway Theatre in Cape Town and the Grahamstown National Arts Festival.
On Saturday evening there will be a bonfire and informal braai on Boeredans Farm just outside Stanford.
