Birding at Standfontein

I got an Uber to Rondevlei but there was no water there. So I got another Uber to Strandfontein Sewerage Works. This is an amazing birding spot with a great number of water birds. I took lots of photos and had a super time. Then, because I was in the park, I had to walk about 10km back to the gate. It was hard work but worth it.
