Lagoon Bird Count 'A Flying Success'.
(From The Namibian - AAGM)
Byline: Maggi Barnard
A TOTAL of 103 900 birds were recorded in the annual winter bird count at the Walvis Bay lagoon recently.
Keith Wearne, who organised the count, said it was decided to divide the wetland into three areas to ensure more efficient monitoring.
The three areas and the number of birds counted were:Walvis Bay lagoon 25 300, mud flats and Pelican Point 9 400 and the salt pans 69 200.
Wearne said the mud flats and Pelican Point area carried at least three times the number of birds during summer.
The salt pans are home to most of the resident and intra-African birds.
