Bluff Nature Reserve was proclaimed in 1961, making it Durban’s oldest bird sanctuary. The original extensive wetland area was split in two by construction of Tara Road, with the majority of
the Vlei being to the east of the road. The reed beds potentially provide extensive roosting and breeding areas for several species of Herons and Egrets, as well as African Spoonbills and several crackers and rails. However, in the last few years breeding activity appears to have been mainly restricted to the likes of Egyptian and Spur-winged Geese, Swamp Hens and Coots.
