But when you’re moving closer to great birding, there are some consolations. Turning in the other direction to reach the Kim Williams Nature Trail, I was treated almost immediately to the most confiding Nashville Warbler I have ever met, a handsome male bird who landed on a branch just a few yards from my face to sing.

I usually do not write much about traveling to and from birding places but my friend and I arrived in Malelane in the afternoon. The room was one stuffed with pillows – it seems some landlords think the more pillows are in a room, the cozier the place is. Fortunately, we were there for the birds, not for the room.
