Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens    
     

John and Greta Graham, Sion Stanton and Margaret and I met up at Kirstenbosch early this morning to walk around the gardens and see what we could photograph before going to have a delicious and over sized breakfast at the restaurant. All the normal common birds were seen and highlights included 2 Booted Eagles, an African Harrier Hawk and a Cape Spurfowl with a covey of 8 fluffy chicks.
