WTM, drink up your coffee, get your bin's, and I'll pick you up at 11am to go and show you the Stierlings. That should cheer both of us up! I am also as mad as a snake (at inconsiderate neighbours and their pet pooches,) not you wink

Re: Nelspruit Botanical Gardens - what can we expect to find?

Don't even get me started on that, BK. I twice had to dump a 10 liter bucket filled with water on my neighbour's keffing effing brak in the early morning hours over this weekend!! I just had enough of that thing! I just cannot fathom how owners of pets can allow this thing to happen. WTF?!?! I am short of shooting the darn dog!

Re: Nelspruit Botanical Gardens - what can we expect to find?

DD, at least when a cat's on heat, the noise lasts 1 or 2 nights, these dogs bark every day, all day and half the blooming night. I say shoot the owners, sell the dog to the neareast oriental take away restaurant madlol

Re: Nelspruit Botanical Gardens - what can we expect to find?

I am really tired of Gauteng birding. It is as boring as hell.

Laine and I should perhaps have a chat about going to Nelspruit this weekend.

You?

Re: Nelspruit Botanical Gardens - what can we expect to find?

I don't know. I simply think that this summer was too dry to lure any of these Warblers. Previously I have not swam as much as I have done this year. Truly had a much better summer this season. But my neighbour tells me that last year April was one our wettest months. So let's see, maybe the big rains are on its way still.

Re: Nelspruit Botanical Gardens - what can we expect to find?

March last year we had 205mm, and April 95mm - but it was a record year, so let's hope we get some more soon.
