Sunday Bird Spotting

Part of the False Bay Nature Reserve is the Strandfontein Bird Section which is the Strandfontein sewage works.

I can just imagine everyone thinking "sewage" Yuck, the stench must be awful, not so to be honest. I have been there on numerous occasions and the there is hardly a smell at all.

The entrance is on the Pelican Park side of Zeekoevlei. I normally go via Victoria Rd, Grassy Park, turn right into Fishermans Walk then right into  Buck Rd. Look out for Flowerpecker Street and turn right. Once you have signed in at the entrance follow the road until you get the actual entrance to sewage works and turn right.

Now take out the camera and drive and drive and drive and take those pics.

Now is the time to go as most of the birds have migrated here for summer.

Had some good photographic opportunities of the White Pelican.

The Greater Famingo have also arrived and if you manage to get to the birding section at the right time you are in for a photographic feast.

If you are very lucky you might catch a Kite with it's prey.

The Photographic opportunities are endless of the various Duck Species, Terns, Storks, Spoonbills, Stints, Plovers, list goes on.

I am yet to spot the Fish Eagles, but there is hope yet.
