missing the neotropics
Hey folks,
I will have three days in Cape Town by myself before family arrives and am planning on three days of all out birding to see as much as I can. After family arrives I will be in the western half ZA and S Namibia for two months touring around playing tourist and birding a little in the mornings and evenings, here and there and opportunistically sort of. So I should eventually see all the common stuff, and I have chances for the N Cape/Namibian species, the Karoo species, and birds in Pt Elizabeth and along the Garden Rt in turn, so my thought is to focus mostly on specialties while in Cape Town. I will have a car and am completely flexible on where I go and where I stay.
An obvious destination is Kirstenbosch, but I'm curious for thoughts from locals and those who are far more knowledgeable than I!
Cheers,
Josh
