Popped in this morning to check the water levels.Awesome news all the pans are now full, I know it is a trade off birders v photographers but as a birder who takes photos i am really chuffed that the levels are back to normal. With the rain we have had over the last week all the wetlands behind hide number one and two are really wet and there are lots of specials on offer.Granted a little walking is needed but it is worth it. I heard Willow Warbler on the path to hide number two but never saw it.I did notice that they are erecting a huge game capturing fence, not sure if they are removing animals or putting more in. Am currently trying to find out and will keep the blog updated with news as soon as i know.




Not much time spent here as i wanted to go to Blesboklaagte road next to the western border of Suikerbosrand.

  1. We visited for the 1st time, just found your lovely blog when looking for a link with address to put on a blog post. We didn't have a great 1st impression but your blog has made me think that we should go back. We are not avid birders but love nature and tranquility.
