Sandton Bird Club

Affiliated to #Birdlife.
Dedicated to supporting birds affected by loss of habit and climate change.
We love birds and birding and our meetings are fun!

Hi, so this is the first Tweet of the Sandton Bird Club - a club for amateur birding enthusiasts or those who’d just like to know more about birds.
We hold club evenings 6x a year and offer a good meal, a glass of wine and a great speaker at every event.
DM us for more info!

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:

▪️ No drop in revenue

▪️ 65% fewer sick days

▪️ 71% less burnout

▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial

The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

@SikonathiM @Eskom_SA @EskomSpokesper1 According to Eskom's own material( still up on their website) 7 092MW is definitely Stage 7. So why are we told that we're in stage 6 when, in fact , we're in Stage 7? It means that before your daily tweeter updates, we were likely 1 or 2 Stages higher than what we were told

This #ValentinesDay, take inspiration from some of the great bird species that mate for life. https://t.co/u6JmqdccZH

[Siya Kolisi @SiyaKolisi]

Woke up this morning inspired. Not only do these 2 greats dedicate their life to being the best sportsmen they can be but the impact they are making behind-the-scenes in giving back is just incredible. Thank you also to Mr Bill Gates for your kind and inspiring words 🖤

By law BRP makes the decisions based on a business rescue plan approved by creditors. This political interference was inevitable & the BRP’s were warned. The BRP’s must follow the CO’s Act & apply for the liquidation of SAA before even more money is poured into the black hole.

Racket-tailed Treepie. One of several of this species that visit the garden here at Na Ngua Thailand. @Avibase

[Bruce Whitfield @brucebusiness]

Government destroys SAA. Appoints a Business Rescue Practitioner. Doesn’t like solution. Interferes. “This will necessitate a review of the BRP recent announcement.” No it doesn’t. The law provides for independence in BRP process. It’s why it’s structured that way. Brutal fact.

Unforgettable weekend outing at #Tillietudlem in the Underberg to find the Blue Swallow (pic ©️@BirdLife_SA)
We saw one, a female.
Sadly she was half of the SINGLE breeding pair left at #Impendle Reserve.
It was like watching an extinction event in slow motion.

It truly astounds me how the very people who corrupted this country come forward so brazenly to try and bring down those trying to restore some semblance of duty and decency in governance

Yesterday, I was amazed to find an Orange Breasted Green Pigeon in the outskirts of #Chennai. I had no idea it lived here. Well, if I had a rupee for everything I didn't know, I wouldn't be tweeting so much. "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know." #birds
