Lee and I decided to visit the Green Point Park next to the stadium for a little spot of R&R and, of course, the camera came too. No lifers or special sightings but it was lovely just to connect with the local bird residents.

Undeterred by the blazing sun we set out on the gravel road at Rooiels with sturdy hats, copious amounts of sunscreen and icy water bottles. Thirty birders joined Anton on this walk – you certainly can’t fault birders for enthusiasm!
