The beaches further south of Boulders Beach are productive as well – I saw African Oystercatcher as well as that most typical beach wanderer, the Ostrich. The resident pair of Spotted Eagle Owls and I agree on this. And it also is a very pleasant place to be. A great place to see even Greater Flamingos.

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History boasts an entire collection of skins of birds native to the DC area, from large Bald Eagles to tiny Eastern Screech Owls. For any of us who have seen Ostriches or Emus in real life, the link is not hard to believe. In early June, I took note of each museum bird I spotted.

Hornbills, Paradise Flycatchers , day roosting Giant Eagle Owls or if we’re really lucky Pel’s Fishing Owl , the holy grail! We will explore the dry savannah for korhaans, bustards, lapwings, Ostrich and smaller birds like waxbills and firefinches and we’ll look for Dickinson’s Kestrel , Lanner and Red-necked Falcons.

On my recent visit I managed to see specialties like Spotted Eagle Owls , Swee Waxbills , Cape Sugarbirds , Malachite Sunbirds and Cape Francolins. Spotted Eagle Owl. The gardens are so bird rich books have been written about what can be seen in them. Cape of Good Hope.

Anyway, I was much keener to see this kingfisher than the Emu (who I consider to be a bit of an underprivileged ostrich). While the Double-barred Finch is sometimes referred to as Bicheno’s finch or as the owl finch , a much nicer other name is owl finch, which is derived from the dark ring of feathers around the face ( source ).

We haven’t seen the reason yet, but suddenly you could have palpated a tension in the air that made the zebras step away and even one female Ostrich stand up… Then the Lord of the waterhole came – the White Rhinoceros. Raising and lowering its head, like stretching.

This immature Verreaux’s Eagle-owl was one of the first birds I saw at Kruger, on the introductory afternoon ride through the park. Verreaux’s Eagle-Owls are amongst the heaviest and longest owls in the world. This is a big young ‘un!
