Nectarivore migration routes were described by J.Vlok and digitised by T.Wolf. The migration corridors used by the Cape sugarbirds and orange-breasted sunbirds include the path from the Swartberg Mountain Fynbos Complexes (MFC), through the Rooiberg MFC and the Cannaland Inland Renosterveld into the Outeniqua MFC. This requires a link between the Gamkaberg Nature Reserve and the Outeniqua (Ruitersbos) Nature Reserve, and also serves to link the coastal and inland distributions. They can then move through the coastal vegetation to the coastal fynbos, renosterveld and thicket mosaics. Another migration corridor is between the Kammanassie and Outeniqua Mountains, through the Uniondale Inland Renosterveld. This is a narrow bottleneck and must be managed correctly, to allow bird pollinators to move in and out of the Kammanassie Mountains. See p. 63-64 in Lombard et al. (2004).
