PARADISE VALLEY

We have a rare treat for you! On Saturday 11 July 2015, Adam Riley of Rockjumpers, Pietermaritzurg, will be presenting a half-day course on “The Planet’s Avian Diversity – the bird families of the world”. Adam is extremely well-known, both in the international and national birding world, for his skills in running the incredible explorations that Rockumpers organize worldwide, for his photographic wonders, and for his vast knowledge of birds and his ability to share this knowledge with so many people. His last course on the birds of KZN was packed out, and we expect the same for this one that he has offered to us in eThekwini. Adam has also been associated with BirdLife South Africa for a long while, and was at one time the chair of BirdLife Midlands. We are delighted to offer our members this course.
