Re: Magoebaskloof - Requesting InfoDD - sorry - I don't have the Gps Coords or directions (I was a passenger with someone else) but that residential area along their little river mentioned below was brilliant when we were there last year Latest SA Lifers: Lark-like Bunting, Meyer's Parrot Latest World Lifers: Black-tailed Godwit, Eurasian Oystercatcher #10 12-06-2012 13:51:00

Re: Magoebaskloof - Requesting InfoDD - check on Google maps in Tzaneen. Unless I am totaly confused I am almost sure that the correct area is the end of Maroela Ave close to the river (park there and walk along the stream) The Mannikins were close by along Soetdoring Street towards Leadwood Cresent (in the gardens along this road) Latest SA Lifers: Lark-like Bunting, Meyer's Parrot Latest World Lifers: Black-tailed Godwit, Eurasian Oystercatcher #12 12-06-2012 14:29:10

Re: Magoebaskloof - Requesting InfoWe're going to visit my sister who lives just outside Tzaneen this weekend, and will use this info to add the mannikins to my year list.

Will be in the residential area of Tzaneen at the end of next week, so will make a note to look out for these birds!
