Red Stone Hills and adjacent properties are situated on the fringe of the semi-arid plains of the Little Karoo. The most important
habitats for birds include (a) the open karroid veld dominated by s tunted trees, mainly Gwarrie Euclea undulata, and low succulent
shrubs; (b) the dense thickets on the hillsides, where the rainfall is higher; (c) the fynbos which occurs on the summits of the hills
and where the Waboom Protea nitida dominates; (d) several permanent streams, lined by both indigenous and alien vegetation,
which transverse the area providing a habitat for birds that do not normally occur in this dry environment; (e) man-made habitats
such as the lucerne fields and poplar woods which support birds that would not otherwise enter the Little Karoo.
The best time for birders to visit the area is after substantial rains in spring and early summer. No bird check-list is ever complete
and the compilers would appreciate receiving information on additional species that have been positively identified.
BIRD OF THE WEEK
Birds spotted at Redstone Hills and environs.
Names as used in Sasol – The Larger Illustrated Guide to Birds
of Southern Africa: 2nd
edition 2005.
ID: 63
Species: Black-headed Heron
Spotted: recorded January to December; breeds, resident.
Black headed Heron
The Black-headed Heron (Ardea melanocephala) is a wading bird of the heron family Ardeidae, common throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. It is mainly resident but some west African birds move further north in the rainy season.
This species usually breeds in the wet season in colonies in trees, reedbeds or cliffs. It builds a bulky stick nest and lays 2–4 eggs.
It often feeds in shallow water, spearing fish, or frogs with its long, sharp bill. It will also hunt well away from water, taking large insects, small mammals, and birds. It will wait motionless for prey, or slowly stalk its victim.
The Black-headed Heron is a large bird, standing 85 cm tall, and it has a 150 cm wingspan. It is nearly as large as the Grey Heron, which it resembles in appearance, although it is generally darker. Its plumage is largely grey above, and paler grey below. It has a powerful dusky bill.
The flight is slow, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, and spoonbills, which extend their necks. The white underwing coverts are striking in flight.

o The Rooiberger MTB weekend of racing
Welcome to the Rooiberger MTB weekend of racing!
Mountainbiking without limits...!!
ONLINE ENTRIES FOR 2013 are now OPEN!!
Event Date: 15-17 June 2013
Venue: Caltizdorp Spa
Over the last couple of years, MTB stage racing has reached a new
high with 2 or 3 day events becoming increasingly popular. With
this in mind, Ecobound has developed the Rooiberger, as a classic
enduro MTB event during the long weekend in June. With various
distances (93km, 45km, and 15km) is there something for everyone
and most routes are not too technically demanding. The second day
of the weekend will see an exciting time trial challenge over a
distance of 32km. Other activities for the smaller members of the
family will also be available. The aim is to involve all members of
the family to take part in this event, as cycling has clearly become a
family activity with the introduction of 2 Trail Running distances as
part of the weekend. The event takes place at Calitzdorp Spa, in the
Klein Karoo. The Spa see most riders staying over for the weekend,
as this is a convenient start and finish for all the distances during the
event and a excellent venue and family resort
Saturday 1 will kick off with a 93km Enduro which will take riders over the winding Rooiberg Pass and through the Assegaaybosch Nature
reserve. Rooiberg Lodge offers an exciting spectator point on this route with various amenities available and a floating bridge. Other fun events are
available with distances of 45km and a fun ride of 15km. The 45km is an enjoyable and challenging route. The 15 km is for the youngsters of the
family, with the route staying in close proximity of the Spa.
Sunday 2 is the eventful and exciting time trial over 32km. In the afternoon there will be a X-Country race on a challenging track trough the resort.
This forms part of the Provincial X-Country series.
Monday 3 see the introduction of a Trail Run over two distances 17km and 7km.
With the Fuel Zone as entertainment area, suitably situated next to both hot and cold swimming pools, post race relaxing time is in abundance.
Grab a beer, beanbag and hotdog and relax to some live music! This promise to be an exciting and enjoyable weekend for all!

16 Junie - Fathersday Father's Day is a celebration honouring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.
Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days. Father's Day was created to complement Mother's Day, a celebration that honours mothers and motherhood.
What Is A Dad? A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.
A dad is someone who wants to keep you from making mistakes but instead lets you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt.
A dad is someone who holds you when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed, and has faith in you even when you fail...
Make sure you spoil this wonderful man on Sunday. See the Port Festival program for excellent ideas.
16 June - Youth day – what is it all about? Youth Day - 16 June - was previously known as Soweto Day. In 1975 protests started in African schools after a directive from the previous Bantu Education Department that Afrikaans had to be used on an equal basis with English as a language of instruction in secondary schools. The issue however, was not so much the Afrikaans as the whole system of Bantu education which was characterised by separate schools and universities, poor facilities, overcrowded classrooms and inadequately trained teachers. On the 16th June in 1976, more than 20 000 pupils from Soweto began a protest march. In the wake of clashes with the police, and the violence that ensued during the next few weeks, approximately 700 hundred people, many of them youths, were killed and property destroyed. Youth Day commemorates these events.
21 June - Solstice: what is a solstice?
A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year
as the Sunreaches its highest or lowest excursion relative to
the celestial equator on thecelestial sphere. As a result, on the
day of the solstice, the Sun appears to have reached its highest
or lowest annual altitude in the sky above the horizon at local
solar noon. The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (sun)
and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun
stands still in declination; that is, the seasonal movement of the
Sun's path (as seen from Earth) comes to a stop before
reversing direction. The solstices, together with the equinoxes,
are connected with the seasons. In many cultures the solstices
mark either the beginning or the midpoint of winter and
summer.
The term solstice can also be used in a broader sense, as the
date (day) when this occurs. The day of the solstice is either
the longest day of the year (in summer) or the shortest day of
the year (in winter) for any place outside of the tropics.
The 2013 Absa Calitzdorp Port & Wine Festival will be held over the
long weekend of 14 – 17 June 2013. Commencing on Friday evening,
the Festival will continue till Monday and include a full day of
activities on Sunday for the first time.
A unique jam packed festival in the heart of the Klein Karoo – a
festival of many happy returns!
Please visit our website at http://www.portwinefestival.co.za for more
details.

CALITZDORP NOT LOOKING FESTIVE ENOUGH
We received a number of complaints last year about the town not looking ‘festive’ enough, also complaints about Calitzdorp not looking festive
at all until the last couple of days before the festival. I know that the Dream Project people are always working towards to improving Calitzdorp
– maybe we can all make an effort to help. Zelma also suggested colourful fabric flags in main streets of Calitzdorp. We have an extra banner
available this year – I am investigating putting it up in Oudtshoorn. Please let us have your input and ideas.

The Coffee Shop at Gallery Route 62 We are now serving delicious savoury muffins and scrumptious individual quiches as well as the ever popular spicy Dutch Apple cake, melt in your mouth, seriously Chocolaty Chocolate cake, delectable Apple Frangipane and luscious Carrot & Pineapple cake with Orange syrup. I use only butter and free range eggs in my baking and my quiches are made using dairy cream. I am happy to host special events such as Birthday parties – for adults only. I am closed on Sundays and Mondays and am open from 9.30 to 5pm on Tuesdays to Saturdays.
