I've wanted to get photos of Gymnogene (also known as The African harrier-hawk) for years now. Russell has had one living near him in Constantia but I never lucked out. Until now! Heather took me to a beautiful stretch of park-land and manifested a stunning creature that posed beautifully for photos. I was in ecstacy!
Heather and Russell saw Gymnogene the day before so I went to have a look with Heather. No sign of them, but the light was lovely so I took some photos. Russell and Carmen joined me later. As we neared the car, a gymnogene flew high above us, too far for a photo but exciting nevertheless.
We had a lovely lunch (curried mince), followed by a delicious icecream and a wander in the sublime gardens.
Russell and Heather and I went to a vegan market to enjoy a lovely green juice. It was an interesting place, perfect for lots of people watching. Steven also happened to be there, so it was a good opportunity to bid him farewell. After the market, we went to Costantia Uitsig, close by, for a final Kirsten's Kick Ass Icecream.
