The potential impacts include: Collision mortality on the wind turbines; Displacement due to disturbance during construction (and dismantling) of the wind farm and associated infrastructure; Displacement due to habitat change and loss; Electrocution on the internal powerline grid where the lines run above ground; Collision with the proposed power line grid connections and the internal 33kV powerlines where the lines run above ground; and Displacement due to disturbance during the construction (and dismantling) of the power line grid connection. Of the 184 species that could potentially occur at the site, 32 are classified as priority species for wind farm developments (Retief et al. 2012). Displacement of priority species due to disturbance during the construction (and dismantling) phases of the wind energy facility and associated infrastructure is likely to be a temporary, medium negative impact, and will remain at a medium level despite the application of mitigation measures. None of the priority species are likely to be permanently displaced due to disturbance, although partial displacement of terrestrial species e.g. Blue Crane, Secretarybird, Grey-winged Francolin and African Rock Pipit in the short term during the construction phase is very likely. The implementation of buffer zones around the nesting area could reduce this impact for Blue Cranes, but not for the other priority species. The significance will therefore remain at a medium level after mitigation collectively for priority species. Displacement of priority species due to disturbance during construction (and dismantling) phases of the grid connection is likely to be a temporary, medium negative impact, and should be reduced to a low level with the application of mitigation measures. Species most likely to be affected by this impact would be terrestrial species such as Grey-winged Francolin, Blue Crane, Ludwig’s Bustard, Northern Black Korhaan, Secretarybird and Blue Korhaan, but there is also some potential of disturbance for Verreaux’s Eagle. The implementation of the proposed mitigation measures will greatly reduce the probability of disturbance of specifically breeding Verreaux’s Eagles.

    Pel’s Fishing Owl - a pair was found on a wooded island south of Shakawe (Jan-Ake Alvarsson) NAMIBIA & THE OKAVANGO 21 SEPTEMBER – 8 OCTOBER 2017 LEADER: STEVE BRAINE For most of the country the previous three years drought had been broken and although too early for the mi- grants we did however do very well with birding generally. We searched and found all the near endemics as well as the endemic Dune Lark. Besides these we also had a new write-in for the trip! In the floodplains after observing a wonderful Pel’s Fishing Owl we travelled down a side channel of the Okavango River to look for Pygmy Geese, we were lucky and came across several pairs before reaching a dried-out floodplain. Four birds flew out of the reedbeds and looked rather different to the normal weavers of which there were many, a closer look at the two remaining birds revealed a beautiful pair of Cuckoo Finches. These we all enjoyed for a brief period before they followed the other birds which had now disappeared into the reedbeds. Very strong winds on three of the birding days made birding a huge challenge to say the least after not finding the rare and difficult Herero Chat we had to make alternate arrangements at another locality later in the trip. The entire tour from the Hosea Kutako International Airport outside the capital Windhoek and returning there nineteen days later delivered 375 species. Out of these, four birds were seen only by the leader, a further three species were heard but not seen.

Summary $what is a biodiversity plan This report contains the technical information that details the rationale and methods followed to produce the first terrestrial biodiversity plan for the Free State Province. Because of low confidence in the aquatic data that were available at the time of developing the plan, the aquatic component is not included herein and will be released as a separate report. The biodiversity plan was developed with cognisance of the requirements for the determination of bioregions and the preparation and publication of bioregional plans (DEAT, 2009). To this extent the two main products of this process are: • A map indicating the different terrestrial categories (Protected, Critical Biodiversity Areas, Ecological Support Areas, Other and Degraded) • Land-use guidelines for the above mentioned categories This plan represents the first attempt at collating all terrestrial biodiversity and ecological data into a single system from which it can be interrogated and assessed.

  • Melodious Lark Inhabits Relatively Dry Grasslands Dominated by Rooigras Themeda Triandra but It Sometimes Also Occurs in Planted Eragrostis Pastures and Fallow Fields
    4 Alaudidae: larks Habitat: The Melodious Lark inhabits relatively dry grasslands dominated by Rooigras Themeda triandra but it sometimes also occurs in planted Eragrostis pastures and fallow fields. Vernon (1983c) pointed out that its habitat is usually at 550– 1750 m, with a mean annual rainfall between 400 and 800 mm. The Melodious Lark generally avoids the hard, wiry grasses of the alpine and sour grass- lands (Vernon 1983c). Reporting rates show that it is most often recorded in grassy Karoo, and sweet and mixed grasslands. Movements: There is no evidence of any regular seasonal movements in this species. The models show fewer sightings in the winter months, but this is probably due to birds being overlooked when not singing. However, the numbers of Melodious Larks in any area may vary from year to year (Tarboton et al. 1987b), implying movements in response to environmental conditions. Breeding: Tarboton et al. (1987b) reported breed- ing November–February in the Transvaal. Breeding occurs in Zimbabwe September–March (Irwin 1981; Masterson & Parks 1993). Historical distribution and conservation: There is evidence that the Melodious Lark was formerly distributed over a larger geographical area in south- ern Africa than it occupies presently (Vernon 1983c; Maclean 1993b). For example, there are no recent records of this species at its type locality at Kuruman (2723AD) in the northern Cape Province, or at Matatiele (3028BD) in KwaZulu-Natal where it was common in the early 1900s. Overgrazing leading to Melodious Lark changes in plant species composition, and crop farming Spotlewerik have transformed the habitat of this lark in many grassland areas.

WINDHOEK After arrival in Namibia’s capital, we had a day to relax and enjoy the excellent birding on offer around this small and charming city. Windhoek has a population of about 300,000, out of Namibia’s tiny population of only 2.1 million, remarkable for a country that is twice the size of California. Monteiro’s Hornbill (left), one of many Namibian near-endemic birds that we were seeking. On our morning walk at Avis Dam, we enjoyed Barred Wren-Warbler (top left) and Black-fronted or African Red-eyed Bulbul (bottom left), while there were a bounty of waterbirds at the Gammons Water Care (Sewage!) Works, including Red-knobbed Coot (middle left) and African Darter (right). From Windhoek, in the central mountains, we descended into the Namib Desert, where species like the Common Ostrich survive despite incredibly harsh conditions. Creatures of the Namib: South African Ground Squirrel (bottom right); Tractrac Chat (top right); and Rueppell’s Bustard (left). WALVIS BAY AND SWAKOPMUND The Namib dune fields hold Namibia’s sole political endemic bird, the Dune Lark. Walvis Bay itself is a mecca for waterbirds, including thousands of Lesser Flamingos (right-hand page). Spitzkoppe is Namibia’s most distinctive and iconic mountain. Our avian target at Spitzkoppe was the charismatic and scarce Herero Chat.

  • Namibia & Botswana
    Namibia & Botswana: From the NAMIB to the OKAVANGO A Tropical Birding Set Departure September 5–20, 2015 Guide: Ken Behrens All photos taken by Ken Behrens during this trip TOUR SUMMARY Our Namibia and northern Botswana tour has long been one of our most popular, and for good reason. The Namib escarpment and desert hold a suite of endemic birds that is shared only with adjacent Angola. These include the handsome Hartlaub’s Francolin, taxonomic oddity Rockrunner, boldly pied White-tailed Shrike, and cryptic Dune Lark. Farther north and east, the Okavango system holds a great wealth of birds, including two of the continent’s most wanted species: White-backed Night-Heron and Pel’s Fishing-Owl. There is no better spot in Africa for these scarce and shy birds. Although they expect the special birds, birders are often also surprised by this tour’s richness of mammals. Etosha National Park is one of Africa’s great parks, and is at its best during the late dry season timing of this tour. The spectacle of thousands of big mammals crowding together for precious mouthfuls of water while trying to avoid the big predators that await in ambush, ranks among Earth’s great natural spectacles. And Etosha is just one of several sites on this trip that always have lots of mammals. But the real thing that makes tours in Namibia and Botswana special is not the specific birds and mammals that these countries hold, Namibia & Botswana September 5 – 20, 2015 but rather a magical quality to the landscapes of this part of the world.

  • Clocolan – Ficksburg 88Kv Power Line
    CLOCOLAN – FICKSBURG 88KV POWER LINE BASIC ASSESSMENT AVIFAUNAL SPECIALIST STUDY April 2013 Prepared by: Prepared for: WildSkies Ecological Services ACER (Africa) Jon Smallie Percy Langa [email protected] [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eskom Holdings SOC Limited (hereinafter referred to as Eskom) is proposing to construct a new 88kV overhead power line from the Clocolan Distribution substation (Clocolan), to the Ficksburg Municipal substation (Ficksburg) in the Free State Province (Eskom Distribution’s Free State Operating Unit). This project will result in the construction of a radial feed which will ensure a secure supply should one of the power lines experience a fault. In bird terms, a fairly wide diversity of species could be found on this site (278 species recorded by South African Bird Atlas Project 1 and 2 data). Of these, 18 species are Red List species i.e. those species for which there is most conservation concern. Of these species the most relevant for this study are: Blue Crane, Grey- crowned Crane, Cape Vulture, and Melodious Lark. The likely impacts of the proposed power line on birds are as follows: Collision of species such as Blue Crane, Grey-crowned Crane and various other species is likely to be of high negative significance and will require mitigation in order to reduce it to low significance. In order to identify the high risk sections of power line requiring mitigation, it is essential that once the exact route is finalized and individual pole positions surveyed and pegged, an avifaunal walk-through be conducted. This walk through will also identify any sensitive breeding species that may require special attention.
