The most
recent trip to Johannesberg brought some delightful close encounters with birds
and mammals, or both at the same time.
Moraletakloof Nature Reserve is 92 hectares of wildlife sanctuary
near Pretoria. I had visited to see the new disabled access hide there and was
charmed by the Zebras which are very
complacent to human visitors and allowed a very close approach.
In Pilanesberg, these White Rhinos appeared very relaxed and fed within 6 feet of my car.
They were accompanied by Red-billed
Ox-peckers and Fork-tailed Drongos.
At the hide overlooking Mankwe Dam, Pied
Kingfishers and Malachite Kingfishers showed
off at very close quarters.
Most of the
lapwings on the lawns of Walter Sisulu
Botanic Gardens, to the west of Johannesberg, were a bit wary, but this
Crowned Lapwing had chosen to sit close to a noisy picnic and didn’t seem at
all bothered when I passed.
I will make
links to the relevant posts as they are published.
