Birding - Green Twinspot

During the past few weeks we've had several sightings of this uncommon bird in the Schoemanskloof Valley. This has created enormous excitement amongst the locals!
The Buff-spotted Flufftail has also been heard frequently.
The White-throated Robin-chat has delighted us with his melodious call. It is an endemic bird to our area.
This is truly a birder's haven!

By the way... this is a special day for Cape White-eyes. Small, yet determined and well-defined - the brand is so clear (Lvj).

Welcome to Old Joe's Kaia!

The reason we decided to create a blog is because there is SO much happening on our premises and in our beautiful Schoemanskloof valley, that we simply had to find a way of letting the whole world know!
We will let you know shortly about the current status of our refurbishment programme, our '2010' plans, the new 'green' approach we have adopted and much much more! - we'll speak soon.

Kind regards
Paul, Marian and Damian
