These processes will involve the compilation of the S&EIR, Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) and a WULA for the proposed mining activities. The Colliery lies south-west of Ogies, within the Emalahleni Local Municipality, in the Nkangala District Municipality of Mpumalanga Province. The proposed 5 Seam Mining Project activities will be undertaken within the following farm portions: Portion 3 of the Farm Cologne 34 IS, Portion 35 of the Farm Leeuwfontein 219 IR, Portion 40 of the Farm Schoongezicht 218 IR and Remaining Extent of Portion 2, Portion 3, 6, 16, 17 and 18 of the Farm Zondagsvlei 9 IS and Remaining Extent of the Farm Kleinzuikerboschplaat 5 IS. Activities to be undertaken will involve the development and mining of the 5 Seam underground workings, construction of ventilation shaft, construction of the transfer chute from the existing conveyor belt, construction of a link road between Khutala Colliery and Klipspruit South (KPS/KHU Link Road), a coal stockpile area and associated water management infrastructure. The mine will use most of the existing infrastructure to support the proposed 5 Seam Mining Project. Site Characterisation The 5 Seam property boundary was assessed on the 25 November 2020 and the weather was sunny, warm and ideal for fauna surveys. The haul road area was surveyed on the 25 March 2021 on an overcast and cool day. The cool weather reduces faunal activity, particularly invertebrates and smaller vertebrates; although not ideal weather, it was deemed adequate in terms of surveying the modified areas proposed for the haul road. • The bulk of the site represents disturbed [alien invasive species (AIS), infrastructure] and (historically or currently) cultivated lands. • All areas designated as ‘other natural areas’ in the conservation plan represented grasslands, some historically disturbed grasslands or pastures (Disturbed Grasslands) and some indicating little to no direct historical disturbance (Grasslands). • All grassland units had patches of wetland vegetation, mostly disturbed and likely as a result of past land practices. These are not mapped but must be considered as additional habitat for fauna. The main riverine and wetland areas have been mapped as Moist Grasslands. • For the actual extent of the wetlands, the wetland report must be consulted. iii Khutala 5-Seam Mining Project: Terrestrial Fauna Impact Assessment Report May 2021 In terms of site findings the aquatic CBAs and associated wetland area and the aquatic ESAs and the connected farm dams, together with the connected, undisturbed terrestrial grassland provided the most significant fauna habitat in the survey area. Despite this, the site is isolated and severed from any natural ecological corridors in the greater area lowering the overall biodiversity value of the site in terms of terrestrial fauna. Animal Species The following is relevant in terms mammals: • The properties may support very limited TOP species, limited to protected and / or near threatened species. • Although endemic species are confirmed for the properties, none are restricted species and the area is not a central area of mammal endemism. In terms of birds: • The property provides habitat for a few TOP birds, predominantly aquatic and wetland species, but also a few grassland species, which are more likely to forage or temporarily utilise the area. • The site supports surface water resources and congregatory water birds may utilise the area during periods of good rainfall. • Although endemic species are confirmed for the properties, none are restricted species and the area is not a central area of avifaunal endemism. In terms of herpetofauna: • No significant TOP herpetofauna populations are expected on the property, limited to a protected and near threatened species. • None of the endemic species are restricted and the area is not considered important for herpetofauna endemism. In terms of invertebrates: • A single TOP spider was historically recorded in the QDGS and cannot be excluded from site. • No TOP invertebrates were noted on site. Terrestrial Biodiversity Table A summarises the terrestrial fauna biodiversity findings. Table A: Terrestrial fauna biodiversity features and impact statement summaries Aspect Fauna findings Ecological The main ecological process is the plant-based primary production of ‘food’ and through processes photosynthesis, which also utilises CO2 and releases O2, and forms the principal base of the food- chain in a terrestrial environment. Secondly, the associated contribution to the water cycle through evapotranspiration is also a significant ecological process provided by the plant life. Another important process is that of natural fires. As the natural fire cycles in South Africa’s grassland and savanna have already been impacted by humans, this is not evaluated further. Impact: No surface activities will result in the removal of undisturbed habitat and no significant impacts iv Khutala 5-Seam Mining Project: Terrestrial Fauna Impact Assessment Report May 2021 Aspect Fauna findings expected to the ecological processes on site. Ecological The site provides a mixture of grassland and agricultural habitats, including farm dams and drivers: wetland areas associated with the drainage lines and streams. The grassland and moist grassland climate habitats are the predominant natural habitats none of which are targeted for direct change, AIS development. Other than avifauna activity, fauna activity was quite limited with very few signs infestation & noted despite the short, open grasslands and sparse cover under most circumstances. habitat The site already supports AIS species very common and widespread in South Africa. changes. Impact: Surface activities will not impact significantly on natural habitats and no significant impacts are expected to faunal habitat and the existing faunal assemblages. Where activities occur near to moist grasslands, such as along the haul road, the activities must proceed in a manner that will not cause indirect impacts (such as siltation during rainfall events) to these wetlands. The development is not expected to significantly alter the AI species dynamics. Ecological No special or critical ecological services provided by fauna were identified for the area and were services largely related to the usual services provided by fauna (prey-base in food chain,

  • Birding in Somaliland, November 2019
    Birding in Somaliland, November 2019 By Enrico Leonardi [email protected] I visited Somaliland for work between 3rd and 15th November 2019. I spent several days in Hargeisa, shuffling between the Hotel Ambassador and the UNICEF Office located on the high plateau not far from the airport. I managed to do some birding in the garden of the hotel and spotted few additional species during the drives to/from the office. Between 6th and 11th November, I went on a field trip to Tog Wajaale, Boroma and Lughaya, stopping at several small villages and hamlets for work reasons. I managed to do some birding early in the mornings and in between meetings and project visits. Lughaya, a small town (~6-8,000 pp.) on the Aden Gulf coast, is bordered on the east and the west by two brackish water lagoons. A small military garrison is located close to the western lagoon, which makes the place far from ideal for birding, as jittery soldiers consider binoculars as suspicious equipment. However, I managed to spend about one hour birding part of the eastern lagoon and the beach separating it from the ocean, with some nice records. A large (several hundred birds) terns and gulls roost was present on the far side of the lagoon, but without a spotting scope it was impossible to investigate it thoroughly. Finally, following the advice of the always resourceful and helpful Bram Piot (merci!), I managed to organize a daily excursion to the Tuuyo plain with Abdi Jama. We left at 5:45am and with several stops along the road, we reached Tuuyo plain around 1pm; indeed a very long road.

AHLQUIST Departmentof Biologyand PeabodyMuseum of Natural History,Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06511 USA ABSTRACT.--OldWorld starlingshave been thought to be related to crowsand their allies, to weaverbirds, or to New World troupials. New World mockingbirdsand thrashershave usually been placed near the thrushesand/or wrens. DNA-DNA hybridization data indi- cated that starlingsand mockingbirdsare more closelyrelated to each other than either is to any other living taxon. Some avian systematistsdoubted this conclusion.Therefore, a more extensiveDNA hybridizationstudy was conducted,and a successfulsearch was made for other evidence of the relationshipbetween starlingsand mockingbirds.The resultssup- port our original conclusionthat the two groupsdiverged from a commonancestor in the late Oligoceneor early Miocene, about 23-28 million yearsago, and that their relationship may be expressedin our passerineclassification, based on DNA comparisons,by placing them as sistertribes in the Family Sturnidae,Superfamily Turdoidea, Parvorder Muscicapae, Suborder Passeres.Their next nearest relatives are the members of the Turdidae, including the typical thrushes,erithacine chats,and muscicapineflycatchers.

  • Tanzania: Birding Among the Beasts a Tropical Birding Set Departure
    Tanzania: Birding Among the Beasts A Tropical Birding Set Departure April 2 – 14, 2012 Guide: Ken Behrens All photos taken by Ken Behrens during this trip TOUR SUMMARY Northern Tanzania is a special place. There is no other country on the continent that comes closer to realizing the Africa of most peopleʼs dreams and imaginations. Here are sweeping savannah landscapes, beautiful skies, seemingly endless herds of wildebeest and zebra, abundant big predators, and conspicuous and colorful birds aplenty. Actually there is even more here than the Africa of stereotypes… there are dry scrublands full of jewel-like birds, lush montane forests tromped by buffalo and elephants, and even fever tree woodland, like some absurd dream of a Nordic barbarian grown weary of snow and pine trees. If someone wanted to make one trip to Africa and really experience the essence of the continent, at least its best parts, I would have to recommend this tour. This tour was a success by any measure. We racked up 441 species of birds and 47 mammals. The bird total is among the highest ever recorded on this itinerary by any birding tour company. We saw all the possible Tanzanian endemics and near-endemics, plus the very local Karamoja Apalis. Mammals were exceptional as well. There is no better place in Africa to experience its megafauna. There were 100s of 1000s of migrating wildebeest, a whole range of antelope, African elephants, lions galore, amazing experiences with a dozen or so cheetahs, a dapper serval, and a gorgeous leopard. Perhaps more important than anything else, we really Tanzania: Birding among the Beasts April 2-14, 2012 soaked in this amazing part of Africa, savoring each sunset, each afternoon thunderstorm, and each brilliant dawn.
