Descripción
Bird Island Nature Reserve is 3 hectare rocky island in front of Lambert's Bay. The island is a significant breeding site for the endangered Cape Gannet and Crowned Cormorant. The island is connected to the mainland by a breakwater, making it accessible to visitors.
The reserve offers the opportunity to observe Cape Gannet up close, as it is one of only six sites worldwide where these birds breed. The island features a bird hide, allowing visitors to discreetly watch the birds nesting, feeding, and socializing. The best time for a visit is between April and September. In addition to the numerous birds, Cape fur seals can also be observed. They can often be seen sunning themselves on the rocks.
