South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park Custom Tour Trip Report

SOUTH AFRICA: MAGOEBASKLOOF AND KRUGER NATIONAL PARK CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 24 February – 2 March 2019 By Jason Boyce This Verreaux’s Eagle-Owl showed nicely one late afternoon, puffing up his throat and neck when calling www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park February 2019 Overview It’s common knowledge that South Africa has very much to offer as a birding destination, and the memory of this trip echoes those sentiments. With an itinerary set in one of South Africa’s premier birding provinces, the Limpopo Province, we were getting ready for a birding extravaganza. The forests of Magoebaskloof would be our first stop, spending a day and a half in the area and targeting forest special after forest special as well as tricky range-restricted species such as Short-clawed Lark and Gurney’s Sugarbird. Afterwards we would descend the eastern escarpment and head into Kruger National Park, where we would make our way to the northern sections. These included Punda Maria, Pafuri, and the Makuleke Concession – a mouthwatering birding itinerary that was sure to deliver. A pair of Woodland Kingfishers in the fever tree forest along the Limpopo River Detailed Report Day 1, 24th February 2019 – Transfer to Magoebaskloof We set out from Johannesburg after breakfast on a clear Sunday morning. The drive to Polokwane took us just over three hours. A number of birds along the way started our trip list; these included Hadada Ibis, Yellow-billed Kite, Southern Black Flycatcher, Village Weaver, and a few brilliant European Bee-eaters.

Colours in Nature Colours

Nature's Wonderful Colours Magdalena KonečnáMagdalena Sedláčková • Jana • Štěpánka Sekaninová Nature is teeming with incredible colours. But have you ever wondered how the colours green, yellow, pink or blue might taste or smell? What could they sound like? Or what would they feel like if you touched them? Nature’s colours are so wonderful ColoursIN NATURE and diverse they inspired people to use the names of plants, animals and minerals when labelling all the nuances. Join us on Magdalena Konečná • Jana Sedláčková • Štěpánka Sekaninová a journey to discover the twelve most well-known colours and their shades. You will learn that the colours and elements you find in nature are often closely connected. Will you be able to find all the links in each chapter? Last but not least, if you are an aspiring artist, take our course at the end of the book and you’ll be able to paint as exquisitely as nature itself does! COLOURS IN NATURE COLOURS albatrosmedia.eu b4u publishing Prelude Who painted the trees green? Well, Nature can do this and other magic. Nature abounds in colours of all shades. Long, long ago people began to name colours for plants, animals and minerals they saw them in, so as better to tell them apart. But as time passed, ever more plants, animals and minerals were discovered that reminded us of colours already named. So we started to use the names for shades we already knew to name these new natural elements. What are these names? Join us as we look at beautiful colour shades one by one – from snow white, through canary yellow, ruby red, forget-me-not blue and moss green to the blackest black, dark as the night sky.

The second, more forested lowland area, did unfortunately show signs of human disturbance and encroachment by an invasive South American plant. Sadly, this forest habitat, found in the Moribane zone, is becoming increasingly rare in Mozambique, with only pockets representing some of the last of its type still left standing. Credit: Millie Kerr/FFI Despite not boasting the fame of the Serengeti or Kruger National Park, Chimanimani, straddling the Mozambican and Zimbabwean border, is an area like no other. Diverse landscapes and unique plant and animal species coexist together in this comparatively unheralded region of southern Africa. Chimanimani’s mountainous landscapes are home to many fascinating species.

Answering the Call of the Thunder Bird

www.forestryexplained.co.za Answering the call of the Thunder Bird Forestry Explained: Our Conservation Legacy South Africa’s thunder bird The Southern Ground-Hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri) is an African icon. Its long eyelashes, flash of white primary flight feathers against a backdrop of black and red gular pouch along with its characteristic tiptoe gait make it impossible to confuse with anything else. Known to be the avian world’s largest co-operative breeder, these ground-hornbills live in groups of two to 12, made up of mostly male helpers that help defend the territory and aid the breeding pair with raising their young . Surviving on insects, reptiles, amphibians and small to medium sized birds and mammals , Southern Ground-Hornbills need to defend such large territories in order to find sufficient prey and ensure that within that territory is a suitable nest hollow. The Southern Ground-Hornbill is ecologically important as a top-order predator which has earned it a place in the ‘African Big Six’ of the bird world. It is also culturally important, fondly deemed to be the ‘bringer of rain’. Yet the future of South Africa’s thunder bird has never looked more uncertain. This makes them sparsely distributed over their natural range - which in the 1900’s covered most of Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, the northern Eastern Cape and even parts of Gauteng. Sadly, this area has shrunk greatly over the past century as habitat has been lost and groups exterminated with devastating effect to their populations. Today only three core concentrations remain: 1. Kruger National Park and adjacent private reserves that make up the greater Kruger region.

Singita Kruger National Park Wildlife Report August 2013

Singita Kruger National Park Lebombo & Sweni Lodges South Africa Wildlife Journal For the month of July, Two Thousand and Thirteen Temperature Rainfall Recorded Average Minimum: 12.3°C (54.1°F) For the period: 0mm Average Maximum: 27.0°C (80.7°F) For the year to date: 409.5mm Minimum recorded: 02.0°C (35.6°F) Maximum recorded: 34.0°C (93.4°F) Winter is definitely coming to an end Winter is always a productive time of the year for us on the concession, and this year has been as exciting as ever. A combination of the vegetation thinning out, and the permanent water sources have made for some spectacular, and consistent seasonal game viewing. Spring is upon us, and already some of the migratory birds have returned to this their southern destination - like southern yellow-billed kites and Wahlberg’s eagles. We now look forward to the first rains, with the promise of green colours, insect sounds and fresh smells, not to forget it's coming up to baby season! Coming of age It’s a harsh time in every young male lion's life, the day that they are seen as a threat to the dominant male and pushed into independence. When these young males reach puberty they are evicted from the pride and need to fend for themselves, this way ensuring there is no inbreeding within a pride. Pride dynamics dictate that all female members are related, being sisters, cousins or aunts to one another. Male eviction happens at roughly 2½ years old, the same age at which the mane becomes evident.
