On
Sunday
5th
November
2006
a
number
of
people
joined
us
for
a
most
enjoyable
walk
to
the
Bird
Hide.
It
was
a
beautiful
day,
even
though
the
southeaster
came
up a
bit
in
the
afternoon,
but
it
was
not
bad
and
we
could
enjoy
our
walk.
The
group
first
walked
to
the
area
where
the
owl's
nest
had
been
erected,
but
were
careful
to
keep
a
fair
distance
from
it -
we
did
not
know
whether
owls
were
using
the
nest,
but
did
not
want
to
disturb
them
if
they
were
there
or
close
by.
Then
we
proceeded
along
the
path
to
the
Bird
Hide,
from
where
we
could
enjoy
the
views
and
could
have
also
see
various
bird
species
quite
close
by.
The
flamingoes
were
unfortunately
far
off
on
the
eastern
side
of
the
vlei,
but
there
were
pelicans,
spoonbills
and
Egyptian
geese
quite
close
to
the
hide,
as
well
as a
number
of
smaller
species.

some
pictures
of
the
walk
in
the
next
pages.
