STANFORD STRETTONS GIN BIRD FAIR & FESTIVAL 01 – 03 OCTOBER 2010
Once again a huge thank you to Edward Snell & Co for their continued and much appreciated generous sponsorship which makes this event possible. Our sponsor has decided to use one of their other products, Strettons Dry Gin, as the vehicle under which they will sponsor bird fairs.
BirdLife Walkerbay (and Stanfordinfo) will be hosting this event. The intention is to put together a fair that, apart from birds, will cover a variety of activities that will attract a cross-section of people, young and old, to Stanford for what will prove to be a memorable weekend.
On the bird fair front, we once again are lucky to have access to an impressive array of birding experts who will be delivering talks and guided field outings, hopefully to find the elusive Rock Jumper, the highly-endangered Bank Cormorant, and a variety of birds endemic to the Overstrand. In addition, there will be talks on Overberg amphibians and bats as well as an outing to spot the Blue Crane. For non-birders and children there will be the ever-popular Eagle Encounters (raptors in flight), snake and spider men and a variety of films. In addition there will be continual birding river trips for the duration of the weekend as well as a mini-pelagic boat trip from Kleinbaai. The popular photographic competition will be judged and will be followed by a Strettons Dry Gin tasting.
From the festival point of view, Stanfordinfo will be hosting the famous Stanford Farmers’ Market on 1st October, a barn dance (?) on the 2nd and will be laying on a variety of activities for non-birders.
A full programme of events if currently being compiled and will be available on our website www.stanfordbirding.co.za. towards the end of May 2010.
