Our last visit to Kirstenbosch on this trip to Cape Town: I was hoping to see male sunbirds (which we had seen on a previous trip) but we were unsuccessful but not unhappy as we had another lovely walk around the gardens and saw a spotted eagle-owl, and plenty of other birds
Does this count for a sun bird? A bird of paradise plant

Olive thrush
Not sure about this one – maybe Cape robin-chat?

We made a return to Kirstenbosch after visiting the nearby Winery at Groot Constantia just to relax after a busy morning.
Again we enjoyed the gardens but didn’t see much birdlife other than the ubiqitous Guineafowl and Egyptian geese.
