22 January 2009 (Rietvlei – North lake and nature garden)

Birds in the North Lake near the Slipway:

• A Crested Grebe with a month old chick.

• About 2000 Avocets

We had 1 mm rain last night and this afternoon the birds were feeding like crazy, among them were:

• About 1000 Little Swift

• Black Saw-wing Swallows

• White-throated Swallows

This is the first time I have seen a grebe chick in the North Lake and I have never seen so many Avocets here or anywhere else.

• Black-headed Heron in the Nature garden
