Hi, so this is the first Tweet of the Sandton Bird Club - a club for amateur birding enthusiasts or those who’d just like to know more about birds. We hold club evenings 6x a year and offer a good meal, a glass of wine and a great speaker at every event. DM us for more info!

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out: ▪️ No drop in revenue ▪️ 65% fewer sick days ▪️ 71% less burnout ▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

According to Eskom's own material( still up on their website) 7 092MW is definitely Stage 7. So why are we told that we're in stage 6 when, in fact , we're in Stage 7? It means that before your daily tweeter updates, we were likely 1 or 2 Stages higher than what we were told

Woke up this morning inspired. Not only do these 2 greats dedicate their life to being the best sportsmen they can be but the impact they are making behind-the-scenes in giving back is just incredible. Thank you also to Mr Bill Gates for your kind and inspiring words 🖤

By law BRP makes the decisions based on a business rescue plan approved by creditors. This political interference was inevitable & the BRP’s were warned. The BRP’s must follow the CO’s Act & apply for the liquidation of SAA before even more money is poured into the black hole.

[BREAKING NEWS] Pres Ramaphosa says government is “not in agreement” with SAA Business Rescue Practitioners canceling many domestic and some regional flights. He says a Minister will make an announcement soon. Are politics/politicians starting to meddle in the work of the BRPs?

Government destroys SAA. Appoints a Business Rescue Practitioner. Doesn’t like solution. Interferes. “This will necessitate a review of the BRP recent announcement.” No it doesn’t. The law provides for independence in BRP process. It’s why it’s structured that way. Brutal fact.


So the response to this has been overwhelming and we are now full up! Looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday... don’t forget binos, hats, sunscreen....

Hey everyone, do you know of children who need a walk in nature to see birds? Our club is holding a children’s birding outing at @delta_park on Sunday morning, 2 Feb 2020. DM us if you’re keen. No charge, and bird check list and experienced guide are provided for free.



Unforgettable weekend outing at #Tillietudlem in the Underberg to find the Blue Swallow (pic ©️@BirdLife_SA) We saw one, a female. Sadly she was half of the SINGLE breeding pair left at #Impendle Reserve. It was like watching an extinction event in slow motion.

It truly astounds me how the very people who corrupted this country come forward so brazenly to try and bring down those trying to restore some semblance of duty and decency in governance


This is a Eurasian Hoopoe, native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa 🌍 It was hit by a bullet and it will never fly again. @LipuOnlus is asking the government to punish those who illegally kill #birds 🆘#FlightForSurvival ✍️ Here’s their petition: lipu.it/articoli-natur…

Yesterday, I was amazed to find an Orange Breasted Green Pigeon in the outskirts of #Chennai. I had no idea it lived here. Well, if I had a rupee for everything I didn't know, I wouldn't be tweeting so much. "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know." #birds
