Giants Castle - Camp Birds

The camp at Giants Castle really is a birders paradise, especially if you like raptors. In our brief say we had nice sightings of Rufus-Chested Sparrowhawks, Wahlberg's Eagle and elusive Bearded Vulture - none of which I had my camera ready for!

However, the bushes around our chalet presented lots of good birding oportunities too, and I spotted plenty of Bokmakierie, Malachite and Greater Double-collared Sunbird's , Gurney's Sugarbird, the Bar-throated Apalis, Cape Weavers, Cape White-eye and Black-capped bulbul's. Here are some of the most frequent visitors:


Not too forget the ever present ravens and Red-winged starlings:
