The great variety of habitats in the Danger Point Peninsula area is the reason why there is such an enormous diversity of bird-life. Dyer Island and the several beaches harbour special and rare sea- and shore-species. The habitat of other birds can be found around the Franskraal estuary and the various dams, wetlands and lakes in the area.

Fynbos-endemic-species populate the fynbos covered hills and plains and forest-specialised birds fly from forested gorge to coastal forests. The sound of the fish eagle can regularly be heard throughout the area and a number of other raptor-species, including the enormous black eagle are residents of the area. In summer breeding couples of the endangered Blue Crane retreat from the fields to the sheltered mountains.
