The West Coast National Park is a 27 600 ha reserve situated about 100km north of Cape Town. With a list of over 250 bird species recorded, the park holds two main attractions for both local and visiting birders. The first is of the promise of finding, with relative ease, at least 45 of southern Africa’s endemic or near-endemic species within its boundaries. The second is of huge numbers of migratory waders, sometimes numbering in excess of 50 000 individuals, arriving at the southernmost point of their journey and spending the austral summer on the lagoon.
The best time to visit the park is from August to November. The first of the migrants will be arriving then and the resident birds are all breeding during that period. There is also the added bonus of the spring wild flowers, one of the other aspects that the park is well known for. During August and September, the Postberg Nature Reserve at the tip of the Postberg Peninsula is also open to the public with its huge fields of spectacular wild flowers and small populations of Eland, Blue Wildebeest, Bontebok, Springbok, Gemsbok and Cape Mountain Zebra.
