Re: Returning MigrantsForgot to mention I saw a Lesser Striped Swallow last weekend at Buffelspoort. Probably overwintering though I can levitate birds, but no one seems to care. Website :www.vdberghimages.co.za Facebook :www.facebook.com/vandenberghimages #53 01-08-2011 15:40:15

Re: Returning MigrantsYou guys may be interested in this page written by Gyorgy Szimuly, a Hungarian birder that's been to South Africa frequently and loves birding at Pafuri. Seems like the Ciconia ciconias have started migrating south. BAD for us, good news for you. #59 11-08-2011 11:39:40
Re: Returning MigrantsYup, people have reported them here already. But there are also reports of some birds overwintering here as well. Great news for us!
