Overstrand Herald 25 Julie 2013 Bladsy 16 Bird Club outing - July 17 July dawned with a lovely cloudless sky and no wind Ö a perfect day for birding. However, anticipating a typical winter rainy day, an indoor event was organised. Murphy at work again. Justin and Annamarie van der Hoven had very kindly opened their home to the club to show us pictures of their last holiday in Kenya. Twenty eight bird watchers gathered for the event which started with a discussion on why many wagtails are seen with deformities such as a missing leg, turned up claw, etc, Paul had been asked a question recently and not knowing the answer had done some research. Google of course knows everything and sure enough there is an article by a student from Johannesburg Open University who has done her MA thesis on the subject. The cause Ö the scaly leg mite. Justin then started the picture show. The first film showed the trip. Several different parks were visited, including the Masai Mara with animals including lion, leopard and cheetah, interspersed with many bird pictures. My personal favourite picture was of a wil- debeest caught in the air jumping over some wild water, at a tributary of the Mara River. Interesting to see a mass of vehicles at a sighting. Apparently the drivers are in radio contact, so when an interesting animal or event is spotted, a mass of vehicles descend on the place, all jockeying for the best position, hoping to improve their tips. Justin told an amusing story of a vehicle in this situation which broke down 5 metres from a lion. Several other vehicles then had to crowd round the brokendown vehicle to act as a shield to enable the driver to jump out and attach a tow rope. All this happening within a few metres of the lion. The second feature was all birds. There is little doubt that as you go further north there are many really colourful birds which are not seen in South Africa. Conversely there are many birds which we see here, particularly in the northern parts of South Africa. After the films we all enjoyed refreshments kindly supplied by Justin and Annamarie, and while eating and chatting were able to admire their garden. Many thanks to Justin and Annamarie for such a great outing. Paul Bramhall
