Calling all South African bird lovers! It’s time to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day  on October 11, a global campaign organised by the Convention on Migratory  Species (CMS) and the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA), in  partnership with Environment for the Americas. Held biannually on the second  Saturday of May and October, this initiative champions international efforts to protect  migratory birds and their habitats. The 2025 theme, “Shared Spaces: Creating Bird- Friendly Cities and Communities,” encourages urban designs that incorporate green  spaces and reduce pollution to support both birds and people. South Africa shines as  a haven for these winged wanderers, hosting species like the Amur Falcon, which  journeys 22,000 km from Siberia to southern Africa, and the Greater Striped  Swallow, a beloved local flitting between breeding grounds here and Central African  wintering sites.  Among these global migrants, the American Goldfinch sparkles with charm. Known  for its epic trek from Canada’s forests to Mexico’s sunny plains, this bird dazzles with  vibrant yellow plumage in spring and summer, moulting to a subtle olive shade for  winter. Often seen in flocks weaving through fields and gardens, the seed-loving  goldfinch fills the air with its cheerful, warbling song. “These birds are so stunning ...
