The first thing that strikes you about the leafy garden suburb of Yellowwood Park, just 14 kilometers from Durban, is that the majority of the roads are named after birds - Lark Lane, Kestrell Road, Wren Way - and that, as these may well indicate, this is a birdwatcher’s paradise, particularly with the Kenneth Stainbank Reserve well within its parameters. Bordering on Chatsworth and south west of Durban, Yellowwood Park has a real sense of village life.
The Barberspan Bird Sanctuary is a huge 2000 ha body of water located between Delareyville and Sannieshof. The Reserve is a pioneer in ornithological research. Bird Life South Africa has declared it an important national birding site. Given then that it is also a RAMSAR Convention-accredited wetland of international importance for migratory birds and waterfowl, it is well worth a visit. The pan is the focal point of a provincial nature reserve and is fed by the Harts River.
