Ringing Birds on Swebeswebe

Swebeswebe BirdLife is a recognized Birder Friendly Establishment with BirdLife South Africa. For the last 14 years a dedicated team from SAFRING and LEDET have been travelling to the Waterberg to spend a week each November capturing, collecting data, and ringing birds before re-releasing them.  This data is sent to SAFRING to be inserted in the SA Ringing database. The number seen, heard, or identified is more than 200 while there are known to be more than 300 species here.
