Dear all,

Once again members of BirdLife South Africa have been invited to cast their vote for the Bird of the Year – for 2015. There are 5 birds on the list and we would be grateful if you would list them in order of preference 1-5 and return to me as soon as possible, but by Thursday 6 March at the latest, as the names have all to be with Nikki McCartney of BLSA by 7 March. The birds listed below are not in any order of preference – just listed alphabetically.

1. Cape Parrot

2. Cape Vulture

3. Southern Bald Ibis

4. Southern Ground Hornbill

5. Wattled Crane

Thanks and regards

Lesley Frescura
