An Unusual Bird in the Overberg

This morning we were lucky to spot a Red-backed Shrike whilst out birding along the Swartrivier road.  This species is quite rare in the area, so we were well pleased with our find.  We had just seen a Denham’s Bustard, a pair of Secretarybirds and a dozen White Storks, as well as many smaller species. It was a good outing!
