Rondebult

During the long weekend we got word that a Western Reef Heron was spotted at Rondebult Bird Sanctuary, photo's here. Ursula, Gert and I set off at 6:00 to see if we are able to get a glimps of the bird. The Freelander was packed with a coolerbox full of beer and cooldrinks and everything you need for a braai. We didn't get to see the the Heron at Rondebult although people we met claimed that it was spotted earlier the morning, someone actually took these photos.

We had the whole day still so we set off to Merrywale. It is a marshland and there are a lot of waders and all kinds of birds that has something to do with water. Took some pictures but my pictures were mostly dissapointing. A highlight of the day was a family of otters.

The first time I see them in the whild. We braai-ied and sat and chatted nearly the whole day. The best remark of the day was when Gert told Ursula if she does bird watching for two more days her whole life will be f...ed up, because that is all you would want todo in future, Guess what we did the next couple of days....
