Autumn time here in Joburg and the mornings are getting a little chilly although considering the heat wave we have just come through anything under 25 degrees c is chilly.Strike season as well so i headed out to practice my photography skills. The new pathways to hide 3 and 4 are complete, dumping is still taking place on the new entrance road leaving a bad impression and lousy smell.A new lady guard today what a pleasant change from the other one who was always hitting me up for food and cold drinks and even cash on occasion. The water levels in front of hides 3 and 4 are very low showing islands that where never there before, the water is completely covered in the green seeds and a little algae. Eventually visited hide number 5,awesome view of the whole sanctuary and some nice birds spotted. I think this stretch of water will be good for some good sightings in the future.Not great for photography but awesome for birding.
