…so the photos start here!
Suzanne and I returned from a simply awesome 18-day trip this morning, the best we’ve done yet without a doubt. The combination of non-stop stunning scenery, great birding, flowers and wildlife, some fantastic accommodation and hospitality, and the flexibility and peace and quiet of independent self-drive was a winner for sure.
This first post is intentionally light on words (while we’re ploughing through thousands of photos, and sadly getting ready for work tomorrow)… but here’s a small selection of photos to whet the appetite. The subject species are all connected by a theme related to the holiday – leave a comment if you can work out where we’ve been, and what the connection is!
Cape! I was volunteering down there in July, amazing place with amazing birds.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the stripey one at the bottom?
ReplyDeleteBlimey - quick work there, Oliver! I agree completely with the word "amazing". Where were you based, and where did you go birding?
ReplyDeleteJono - no idea what it is, I was trying to take photos of a Denham's Bustard when the damn great stripey thing kept getting in the way. And would you like me to provide comprehensive directions to where it was, so you can go for a look?
That's not a bad start for photo's, very nice.
ReplyDeleteI was based at Kariega Game Reserve near Port Elizabeth. My birdwatching was limited to from the vehicle, the small garden, the botanical gardens in Grahamstown and an excellent weekend canoe/camping trip. I still managed 137 bird species.
