A year and a half and we’re still recording more species. Jane identified a Karoo Prinia calling on the far bank.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-07-28-our-little-dawn-bird-counting-team/ Wed, 28 Jul 2021 09:26:23 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-07-28-our-little-dawn-bird-counting-team/ <p>Our little dawn bird-counting team. Jane and Terna plus me. A lovely misty morning by the Black River. Commuters rushing to work on the M5 behind us. It&rsquo;s very much an urban wild space.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-07-14-another-dawn-by-the-black/ Wed, 14 Jul 2021 12:48:22 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-07-14-another-dawn-by-the-black/ <p>Another dawn by the Black River, looking to the confluence where the Liesbeek joins it. I&rsquo;m still waiting for my new lenses because Fedex is a garbage company. Hopefully soon though. If I&rsquo;d had the wide lens I could have included the full rainbow that went along with this scene.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-06-15-huge-day-for-me-first/ Tue, 15 Jun 2021 08:45:59 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-06-15-huge-day-for-me-first/ <p>Huge day for me. First time I’ve ever seen a wild otter. And it was here, fifteen minutes’ walk from my house where the city thinks it’s ok to bulldoze everything to put up offices for Amazon. The Cape Clawless Otter is thriving in this little bit of urban paradise.</p>
