Cape Chatter has always meant to be more than just a website and newsletter with nice pictures. It is about recording how formerly degraded cattle paddocks located next to a coastal reserve and stunning coastline, could be transformed into a sustainable housing estate with minimal impact on, indeed could make enhancements to, the natural world on which it was situated. Behind all the words and pictures in Cape Chatter, detailed observation lists have been made and species specific surveys conducted providing valuable data on how the estate can interact with the natural world and along the way, connect more people with nature. In this issue, I will share with you stories of some vulnerable bird species in our midst and what has been done to help conserve their future within and near the estate. But first, let me tell you about the stunning little Flame Robin which were spotted during the past week on the Weathertop Crest sand ridge.
