Photographing Gymnogene

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!

Langebaan weekend

A wonderful 3 nights in Langebaan with my old hiking group including Antony, Kim and Roxanne, Michelle and her boys, Paul and Adele and Mary-Anne. We went for a walk at The West Coast National Park on the Saturday. Sunday was rainy so we chilled out inside and played some fun games. We also visited the West Coast Fossil park. Langebaan has grown so much since I was there last but still a wonderful spot.
