5th March 2018 – Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, Cape Town

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

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

    Kirstenbosch is a wonderful garden to visit. What a fabulous owl sighting. I hope to get to Cape Town next year March. One of my sisters lives there.
