A change of plan: Instead of Van der Stel Pass, the outing switched to Karwyderskraal and Swartriver Roads. Both are farm roads in the Overberg (about 1 hour drive from Somerset West). We had a great turn out with nine cars in the convoy.
The group enjoyed great weather, not too hot, and 36 species were seen including Fish Eagle, Booted Eagle, Denham’s Bustard and over 40 Blue Cranes including families. More photos in the next Batis magazine.
