Saturday August 15 – We enjoyed another wonderful visit to this historic wine estate and and as usual were warmly welcomed. After coffee in the restaurant we meandered through the pine forests and vineyards enjoying the peacefulness, views and birdlife. Sightings (34 species in total) included Neddicky, Giant Kingfisher, Karoo Prinia, Southern Boubou, Bar- throated Apalis, Cape grassbird, Brown-backed Honeybird, and African Black Swift. After the walk many of us stayed for a delicious lunch. Pictures in the next Batis edition.
