There’s been lots of excitement recently at Strandfontein WWTP in Cape Town following the report of an (American) Purple Gallinule! 🐦

In light of this exciting sighting, I thought I’d share some photos of the rails, crakes and their feathered friends that we’ve had the pleasure of seeing in South Africa🇿🇦 over the past year or so.

Some of these birds can be incredibly shy, secretive and, at times, rather challenging to photograph. But that’s all part of the excitement of birdwatching!😁🪶🐦‍⬛

The last few days visiting the Northern Cape were very rewarding. An overall awesome experience. Excellent night drives, beautiful birds, delicious food and incredible hospitality.

Great sighting of an Aardwolf in the road, several Bat-eared fox and an African Wildcat. Some of the birds seen included pink billed lark, double banded courser and six Quailfinch quenching their thirst.

The highlight for me was connecting with the elegant Burchell’s Courser🐦 which was also lifer #6️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ for Southern Africa . What a way to end this amazing trip.

Not only were the mammal sightings impressive at Mokala National Park, but the birdlife was equally amazing! Highlights included great sightings of Ashy Tit, Cape Penduline Tit, Short-toed Rock Thrush, Orange River Francolin, and a whopping five different waxbill species at the legendary Stofdam Bird Hide.

I also managed to add lifer #649, Desert Cisticola, around several Eastern Clapper Larks putting up a nice display early morning on the Vaalbos Loop. What a birding experience! 🐦 Mokala National Park really is a gem💎!

I was very fortunate to see some of the amazing mammals at Mokala National Park this week. Some of the highlights included Aardvark, Aardwolf, Smiths red rock rabbit, Mountain reedbuck and a first for me, Striped polecat!
Thanks to the expert guidance of Johan on our night drives!
I hope to be back soon. 🦝🐾🐽🦊

A very pleasant few days birdwatching in the Overberg, with our focus on the fynbos🌱 endemics of South Africa🇿🇦.

Fynbos🌸 is a truly special and unique biome, and we were fortunate to have several wonderful sightings, including Fynbos Buttonquail, a very relaxed Cape Eagle-Owl🦉, Cape Rockjumper and several Cape Siskins.🐤

Other highlights included Agulhas Long-billed Lark, Red Knots, Denham’s Bustard, Eurasian Curlew, Cloud Cisticola and Zitting Cisticola, as well as our national bird, the magnificent Blue Crane🐦.

Very happy with all the sightings on our Fynbos Buttonquail mission with Conrad Strauss.😁🪶

Some of the sightings from days 5–6 of our KZN birdwatching tour!

Thanks to Sena Mashandu at Mkuze Game Reserve, who took us on a wonderful guided fig forest walk and found the Pel’s Fishing Owl. We were delighted to finally connect with this magnificent bird.🦉😁

Other highlights included great views of Gorgeous Bushshrike, Lemon breasted canary and Senegal lapwing closer to our accommodation, Leopard Walk Lodge.🌿🪶🦉

Some of the sightings from days 3–4 of our KZN birdwatching tour!

Thanks to Bongani at Ndumo Game Reserve, who took us on a wonderful forest walk and helped us find some of the birds we were hoping to see. We were searching for the Pel’s Fishing Owl for hours only to find it at the end of the day flying away with its fish! We were gutted not getting decent views or a pic but our luck was about to change…😁

The highlight was our sightings of African Broadbill and Scaly-throated Honeyguide, early the next morning.🐦🌿🪶
