Heading east
out of Namibia’s capitol, Windhoek, the tarred road leads you after about 45 km
to the Sonnleiten Farm Residence on your left side. This retirement residence
offers big fun for people interested in birdlife. In the garden you can see
exciting species such as the Rosy-faced Lovebird, Scarletchested Sunbird and
the Grey Go-Away-Bird, the clown in the bird world.
To promote bird
conservation, BirdsConTour offers people, organisations and establishments to
become registered as Bird & Birder Friendly. After having visited
Sonnleiten Farm Residence, it was clear that the establishment meets certain
criteria (see article 67 under www.birdscontour.blogspot.com)
which led to becoming rewarded with a two penguin-rated Bird & Birder
Friendly Award. Native plants (trees) are incorporated into the garden and food
as well as water is offered to wild birds, attracting them to the garden.
BirdsConTour
would like to thank Sybille & Uwe Rückleben for their conservation efforts
on their premises!
See article 71
under www.birdscontour.blogspot.com
for registered Bird & Birder Friendly establishments, organisations and
people.
