Left Memel about 07h15 - we ARE early birds! Drove through some mist over the high ground and then there were 1000's of Amur falcons between Memel and Vrede - Yay 😀

Schalk arranged for us to visit the Lion Farm (we have been there once before) owned by Ted and Kiewiet. We picked him up at 10h30 and headed south along the Vlei. Had to stop on the way for a bunchWeiterlesen

Schalk came for breakfast and then we went birding in the Seekoeivlei. It was quite wet and there were one or two watery 4x4 spots we had to swim through.

We were a bit lazier today as we didn't have far to go. After all the excitement of baby cuckoos we had breakfast in Naunton's dining room (R100 each - ouch!) and then packed up the car in the rain.Weiterlesen

Naunton's was nice. The room was comfortable with a big window on a rather lovely garden.
