Bird Photography in the Table Bay Nature Reserve

This is the view from the Table Bay Nature Reserve close to Woodbridge Island, Milnerton. I often refer to this area as the ‘Hidden Urban Treasure’ of local bird photography. I've created some of my best images here over the last 10 years. The location is approximately 2.5 km’s from Woodbridge Island.

The best place to park should you want to visit the reserve is Woodbridge Island (next to the Milnerton Canoe Club) and take a walk along the Diep River to the Reserve (with the entrance opposite Milnerton High School).

Notice the small channel of water to the right. There is a small island with the Diep river flowing towards the right – opposite the Milnerton Golf Course. On any day there will be an abundance of birds on the small island (i.e. African spoonbills, grey herons, pied kingfishers, cormorants, ducks, geese, various small birds and the rare sight on occasion of the night heron).
