Just recently returned from holiday in South Africa, spent mainly in the Eastern Cape. Magic!!! Birds were everywhere and the birdsong was something out of this world especially the Shrikes and Boubous who seemed to sing in a kind of choir!! You couldn’t always see them but to hear was almost better than seeing. Gorgeous Bush Shrike, Bokmakierie, Southern Boubou are just three of my many favourites. Also the call from the Water Dikkop as the light faded - oh yes and the sight of the Knysna Lourie - absolute paradise and I want to go back!!

I'm really looking forward to my visit to SA, Nerine.
Were there any signs of tourist-related crime?
