    South Africa in December

    Hi Jeff, Kruger will be great- though it does have a touristy feel, it is nice to be able to drive your own car around. Been there many times and always loved it. Best birding is up north, pafuri and punda maria for forest specials, and also Shingwedzi- but the whole park is good. The south and...

    Your best bird seen today.

    Short eared owl hunting over the marsh all around us, quite close, for a good ten minutes, sometimes going to ground, perching once on a raised mound for a few seconds, engaging in some aerial maneuvres with a northern harrier, flushing a wilson's snipe from the ground and then being mobbed by...
