So far we have seen Impala, Duiker, Greater Kudu, Mongoose, Zebra and warthogs around the neighborhood, and yard. The mighty rhino along with the Cattle Egret. The house is a four bedroom, four bath two story, with a deck running around three sides of the upper story, great for wildlife viewing.

Cape Mongoose are also easy to see. Cattle Egret in spring flowers. Cape Bulbul , Cape Weavers, and Cape Wagtail are all common here if you feel you need even more birds with cape in the name. The network of roads through the ponds are open to the public and easily birded from a car. Greater Flamingos. Strandfontein.

Of the estimated 500 million cattle in India, only 4% were destined for consumption by humans as meat. Out of all sights of the city, from Ghandi’s Sabarmati Ashram to Adalaj Stepwell and from Sidi Saiyyed Mosque to Bhadra Fort, these weird tourists want to go to a dead cattle dumping site?? House Crow vs. White-rumped Vulture.

Otherwise, the only birds I saw over the water were a variety of egrets and herons either fishing at low tide or flying past in the morning and evening (like the Cattle Egrets at the top of this post), and a Belted Kingfisher that enjoyed spending time at the east end of the resort. Yellow-throated Warbler Setophaga dominica.
