Bird trip to South Africa (Sept. 2008)

I attended a conference in September 2008 in Cape Town and added a two week period thereafter (10-24 Sept) to enjoy some birding in the Eastern and Western Cape area. I was mainly interested to see Cape endemics, and the main places that I managed to visit with my birding friend were Table Mountain NP, West Coast NP, Karoo NP (Beaufort West), Gouna Forest (Knysna), De Hoop Nature Reserve (Agulhas Plains). I also tried a pelagic day trip for albatrosses and other seabirds during the conference (Simon's Town). The overall bird list of the trip was c. 250 species. This gallery has 116 images depicting 65 bird species.
