Bird of the Year 2024
A Bateleur soaring above the African bushveld is one of the iconic sights in nature. Avid birder and conservationist Anton celebrates this magnificent raptor with beautiful images taken by BirdLife Overberg members over the years.
The numbers of Bateleurs have decreased by 50% over the past forty years, with less than one thousand pairs left. Anton will discuss the threats that the species are faced with and highlight remedial conservation actions such as the Bird of the Year campaign, as well as details of educational resources being disseminated.
