Birds in the Table Bay Nature Reserve, Woodbridge Island

Levaillant's cisticola Table Bay  Nature Reserve

On my morning walkabout to the Table Bay Nature Reserve, Woodbridge Island I was greeted with slightly windy conditions, but otherwise a crisp early morning with various bird species in the reserve.

The Cape spurfowls were there, but as usual took of on my arrival, a couple of grey herons, many ducks and geese. The Levaillant's cisticolas were frolicking in the early morning sun and I was fortunate to photograph at least one of them.

Birds of the morning:

• Levaillant's cisticola
• Yellow-billed duck
• African darter
• Egyptian goose
• Blacksmith lapwing
