The hackneyed word ‘passionate’ about the environment rings true for local birder Mr Colin Williams.
Colin has already ringed 11 000 birds with the aim of reaching 20 000 before he retires.
You will probably find him off to the bush as many as six weeks a year.
He uses the time to observe, study and in addition commune with nature.
“My life is not around my work, it’s what I do after work,” he said.
This qualified electrician hails from Vryheid in KwaZulu-Natal where he first experienced the wildlife while hiking in the mountains.
