The Power of Marketing in 2024
In the fast-paced world of business, staying ahead means providing quality products and services, and communicating these offerings to the right audience.
Nestled in the Cape Floral Kingdom with the Klein River running through the village, Stanford is the unofficial bird watching hotspot of the Overberg. There are almost 200 different species that have made this artistic nook their home and 30 of them are endemic to South Africa. It is a wonder to behold!
Between the diverse flora and the winding river there are countless birds that can be heard as they sing their song all through the day. For city dwellers it is the ideal escape as the ever-pressing sound of the city is exchanged for graceful twittering. The melodies and colourful plumage serve as great amusement to both bird and nature lovers; a natural attraction that the locals hold dear to their hearts.
A gentle stroll down to the river, kayaking around the riverbends or a leisurely river cruise at sunset can all lead to spotting one (or many) of the various bird species that call the area home. Observe the myriad of colours and varying habits of Sunbirds, Coots, Fish Eagles, Kingfishers, Reed Warblers, Sugarbirds, Egyptian Geese, Malachites and the South African national bird, the Blue Crane.
For a glimpse of what to expect, here is a photo journey of the birds to be found in Stanford:
