South Africa is a favourite
destination of many birds migrating from Europe. This month,
Springbok Casino looks at some of the most
amazing bird migrations that end in South Africa in its new Wings Over South Africa feature.
The
Amur Falcon, a small raptor, undertakes one of the most remarkable migratory
journeys in the avian world. Originating from their breeding grounds in Siberia
and Northern China, these falcons traverse an impressive 22,000 kilometers
round trip every year, chasing the warmth of the southern hemisphere.
The
Amur Falcon’s journey is incredible, but another small bird holds the migration
record. Known for having the longest
migratory journey of any bird species, Artic Terns travel an astounding 70,000
kilometers round trip from their Arctic breeding grounds to the southern tip of
Africa.
Each
year, as Europe's landscapes are draped in autumn hues and temperatures drop,
the European Swallow embarks on a spectacular journey. Covering distances of up
to 11,000 kilometers, these agile avians set their sights on a warmer haven:
South Africa.
Springbok’s
special feature includes one video that explains HOW birds find there way on
long migrations and another that discusses WHY they take these long, annual
trips around the world.
Migratory
birds face many challenges during their long journeys, ranging from habitat
loss to climate change effects. One video in Springbok’s collection looks at
conservation groups that have mobilized to ensure these birds have safe passage
across continents and oceans.
