  • 2012 Rare Bird Sightings Other Parks @Year
    Recent Sightings Other National Parks The records listed in this document are courtesy of Trevor Hardaker’s SA Rare Bird News at [email protected] , submissions via the SANParks website, or direct contact between birders and SANParks staff. December 2012 Karoo National Park Other interesting records in the province include a BROWN SNAKE-EAGLE photographed in the Karoo National Park on Saturday (29 th ). This is a first record for the park and is a very rare species in the Western Cape. Brown Snake-Eagle at Karoo National Park © Japie Claassen 2 GARDEN WARBLERS were reported earlier today (13 th ) at the Doornhoek picnic site in the Karoo National Park. The GARDEN WARBLERS that were reported from the Karoo National Park on Thursday (13 th ) were still present on Saturday (15 th ) at the Doornhoek Picnic site Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park In the Northern Cape the Kgalagadi continues to produce interesting records, possibly as a result of good rains in the area. In the last week of the year there has been a report of KAROO SCRUB-ROBIN, KAROO KORHAAN, AFRICAN CRAKE at Mata Mata (as reported before) and YELLOW-BILLED EGRET. All these species are uncommonly seen or unknown in the park, with the crake and egret being particularly noteworthy. African Crake at Mata Mata, Kgalagadi © Tim Jones In the Northern Cape a remarkable record coming from Mata Mata Camp in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on Saturday (22 nd ) is of an AFRICAN CRAKE photographed standing on the window sill of a chalet! There are no records for SABAP2 for this species anywhere near this area and it is a very interesting record for the province.

  • South Africa, 2011
    South Africa, November/December 2011 Report by Sjef Öllers Introduction Our second holiday in South Africa was mainly set up to see five mammals: aardwolf, aardvark, black-footed cat, caracal and brown hyena. We managed to see the first three and dipped on the last two. Nevertheless, I was very glad to see aardvark and black- footed cat, which I thought would be the most difficult ones. In addition we had very good sightings of African wildcat, cheetah and leopard. Completely unexpected was the bizarre Cape dune mole-rat in West Coast national park. I also wanted to see a decent cross-section of the South-African endemic and near- endemic bird species in the western half of the country. I had about fifty target species and saw most of these. Some highlights were good numbers of Ludwig’s bustard and black harrier, a small flock of rosy-faced lovebirds in Augrabies, white-starred robin, narina trogon and both cuckoo-shrikes in the Wilderness area, Cape rock-jumper at Rooiels, and Knysna woodpecker and Cape griffon vulture in De Hoop. In total we identified more than 50 mammals and about 300 bird species. Bontebok (de Hoop) 1 Travel Information A car was hired through www.drivesouthafrica.co.za, which was easy and efficient. The car was provided by Europcar. I had asked for a 4WD Daihatsu Terios. When we left Cape Town, we had noticed that it had the differential lock button to switch on the 4WD and nothing was said when the car was delivered, so we assumed it was fine.
