What better way to start the new year than a look at the spectacular blooms from our Cape Orchid Tour completed just 2 weeks ago! Over 2 weeks we travelled across the Cape finding 49 species of orchid amidst spectacular scenery and the full splendour of the fynbos.

Time for some spring "cleaning".

Ahead of our upcoming Spring and Summer South African tour season, we have partnered with the Rooi Els Conservancy to replace the existing Cape Rockjumper signage. The effect of five years of African summers and Cape winters was obvious on some of the old signs. Photos are courtesy of Gavin Lundie - Rooi Els Conservancy.

Details of our ever-popular Cape Rockjumper day trips can be found at: https://birdingafrica.com/blog/tour/cape-town-kogelberg-day-trip/

And success with the (undescribed) Sao Tome Storm Petrel!

23/05/2024

Fancy chances for almost 30 endemics and a pelagic for "Sao Tome" Storm-Petrel? We have 1 - 2 last minute places on our short Sao Tome & Principe tour off West Africa, 26 June - 3 July, led by Michael Mills. No camping on this itinerary! Thanks to Chris Craig for the photo of the storm petrel, taken on our last tour to the island.

~ the second most handsome harrier (after black harrier 🙂) in world is the madagascar harrier, but sadly both are endangered and getting more difficult to see every year ~
