birders from Gauteng who stopped for morning birding before moving on
to Punda Maria for weekend birding.
Between them they got some few lifers and amongst other birds we saw a
pair of African Broadbill,Narina Trogon and Golden Weaver at Roodewal
Forest.We also chase for Gorgeous Bushshrike but with no luck as it
kept calling in a thick shrub.At Entabeni Forest along the Lutanadwa
River we picked up a pair of Mountain Wagtail.Other birds were Blue
Spotted Wood-Dove and Pink Throated Twinspot at Botanical garden.
On Saturday morning I went to Roodewal Forest during my surveying and
monitoring of African Broadbill.I got two pair of African
Broadbill,several sightings of Narina Trogon,African Crowned
Eagle.Moving on to Luvuvhu River I was lucky again to spot a pair of
White-Backed Night-Heron an a single African Finfoot.The water at the
river is still dirty after a heavy rain last week.
I also went to Entabeni Forest and after a long search I got a single
Bat Hawk perched at the top branch of Gum tree.On the way back from
Entabeni I got several sightings of Steppe Buzzard and a single
sighting of Forest Buzzard.
Happy Birding.
