Re: Rietvlei Nature Reserve through Greenies' Eyes
Time to post some pictures of wildlife seen in Rietvlei (other than the wildlife around the braai).
This was my first visit to this nature reserve and it won't be my last but next time I'll do it when the weather is a bit more predictable.
Red-Knobbed Coot.
Blesbok.
An Ostrich pair.
Pied Starling.
Red Hartebeest.
Cape Longclaw (formerly the Orange Throated Longclaw). A new species for me!
A Red-Collared Widowbird.
Yellowbilled Duck.
Little Egret.
Stonechat.
Red Bishop.
Whitethroated Swallow.
Reed Cormorant.
Cape Wagtail.
Zebra foal.
Cattle Egret.
With an interesting backdrop.
And last but not least, my personal favourite (by miles) for the day.
Whitethroated Swallow landing.

Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!

Love your Didericks, Flutts...
Super pics BT - the egret is a real poser.. So glad you like Rietvlei.
I think us greenies must go on a night drive - we need 10 for a group.
