Keep your eyes (and ears - their call is quite distinctive) open, they do occur in Randburg area - we used to live on a plot near Kya Sands and we had them nesting there. Not sure if we've had them in our garden since we moved to suburbia - must ask the SO.

Great shot Sprocky, especially considering the speed and unpredictability of their flight \O


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

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
