Woolly-necked Stork in Barbarspan Bird SanctuaryBarberspan Bird Sanctuary: The Barberspan Bird Sanctuary is a huge 2,000 ha body of water located between Delareyville and Sannieshof. The Barberspan Reserve is one of the largest waterfowl sanctuaries in South Africa and is a pioneer in ornithological research. Bird Life South Africa has declared it an important national birding site. Barberspan is also a RAMSAR Convention accredited wetland of international importance for migratory birds and waterfowl and is well worth visit.

The Barberspan Bird Sanctuary is probably unique in South Africa, and indeed the world, for the sheer numbers and variety of birds to be seen on the pans. 365 species have been recorded, including a number of rare migrants, making Barberspan an essential stopover for all birders. Pelicans and flamingo, grebes, terns, herons, cranes, ibis and bitterns to mention just a few. All but one of the South African duck species have been recorded at the pans.

Barberspan Bird Sanctuary: The reserve is open daily from 06:00 to 18:00. Barberspan Bird Sanctuary is well sign-posted from the N14 which links the small towns of Delareyville and Sannieshof.
