In and Around the KZN South Coast in July

the last month has been very quiet birding wise, we are just waiting for the migrants to arrive back from equatorial Africa and Europe. The Inter-African migrants are well on their way and should start to return in the next few days and the palearctic migrants should start showing next month. Here are some photo's from the last month.
