Trip report: Greyton via the Helderstroom Road
The twelve birders left the Onrus OK parking area at 07:30 for what promised to be a great day of birding. At Salandra, two more birders joined the group. The 2-way radios were distributed, and we left for the Helderstroom road turn-off from the Villiersdorp road. The thick mist necessitated careful driving.
