CapeNature, the public institution with the responsibility for biodiversity conservation in South Africa’s Western Cape, has announced that the bird hide on Bird Island in the Lambert’s Bay Bird Island Nature Reserve will be closed to the public for scheduled maintenance work from 10 February 2020 to 13 March 2020.
The Lambert’s Bay Bird Island Nature Reserve is located in Lambert’s Bay in the Western Cape about 280 km north of Cape Town. The Nature Reserve’s name-giving Bird Island, which lies about 100 m off the shore of Lambert’s Bay, is the only accessible spot in the world to see Cape gannets breed.
