Trip Report: Marievale August 2012Spend my day birding this week at Marievale. The cold front had not quite hit Joburg yet but it was still rather chilly! Saw a total of 59 species during the morning I spent there (from around 6:30 to 12). The place has been extensively burnt - looks like controlled burning, not affecting the reeds at all - so lots of bird species were enjoying the recently burnt areas. The highlight was watching a flock of Greater Flamingo fly from the Bus Stop area and settle in the area just to the left of the hide at the picnic area and a grey form Mountain Wheatear hanging around the Hadeda Hide. Oh, and two of the cleanest Pied Avocet in the world! Here are some photos that I took during the morning: Mark Tittley (a bird-a-holic) Johannesburg, South Africa Bird Photos: http://bitly.com/MarksBirds Trip Reports: http://bitly.com/BirdingSA #2 07-08-2012 11:07:15
