How a fall led me to fly

Sometimes, the best adventures
start with a twist of fate. For 11-year old
Richard Meyer, a fall from a bunk

of a lifelong passion for birds and nature, from his first look
out of the window with a bird guide in hand to exploring
some of the best birding spots in South Africa. We interview
Richard and his mother, Carien.

Littorally speaking: the shorebirds of Hermanus
