Thank you all for your birding suggestion on my recent trip to Natal.
If I thought that I would have ample time to visit various bird locations on my visit to my son, Theo, I was greatly mistaken.
He had a jam packed 5day weekend planned and the only time I had some free time, was on Sunday morning while they were preparing a potjie.
Let me start with my trip down to Durban.
I took two days extra leave so that I could travel down and back on a ‘work day’.
We took the fast lane up to Harrismith and then the old road via Bergville.
There were road works going and we had to contend with Stop and Go.
A great part of the road was dirt road. This is a scenic road, and we loved it.
Stop and go
I think this is part of Sterkfontein dam
Oops, a load gone wrong
Beautiful Drakensberg
The Jackal Buzzard in the wild was a super surprise and we were lucky to get these shots.
And this was my first picture taken of a black crow
Saturday we had some breakfast on the beach at a place called Beach bummers. I loved their furniture....
And we watched some dolphins playing at sea
I was then taken shopping for a nice good bag for new camera and lens,
And in the afternoon I was in the Shark tank watching the Argentineans run over our Boks!
I was very relaxed and knew I would enjoy the game because Theo and I were shouting for the same team. Normally at a Bulls and Lions game, I have to tread very softly around him should the Bulls loose.
