31 August 2024 - Kyalami Estates
This August I recorded 53 species was not far behind last years count of 55 species, although I didnt seem to take too many images.
Most of the action was down at St Ledger Dam where I had Blacksmith Lapwing

| Blacksmith Lapwing (Vanellus armatus) |
The male Cape Weaver was in production mode and had already made a few nests
 |
| Cape Weaver (Ploceus capensis) |
Egyptian Geese numbers seem to be on the increase, which is really not great news - but I got a few pleasing images of this pair
 |
| Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca) |
I found a pair of Malachite Kingfishers which could be promising
 |
| Malachite Kingfisher (Corythornis cristata) |
I also had an unexpected visit from a single Grey-headed Gull
 |
| Grey-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus) |
The Reed Cormorants posed nicely

And we enjoyed another full moon
