So the testing South Easter (only good for birds) has arrived and Summer must be on the way - surely?

| Jurgens and his 'Baby' |
- amazing what's happening down on the Sea Point Promenade these days. Just yesterday we bumped into, no, not skate-boarders and roller-bladders but Jurgens and his beautiful salmon pink 'Baby' - who turned out to be very tame (both of them, actually) and totally unruffled by the gale

| Ms K and 'Baby' |
- toward the end of last week, US hurricanes blew a Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger), "a tern-like seabird that is native to the Americas", into Rietvlei Reserve in Milnerton - never sighted in Africa before and naturally, all the birders went ballistic. Amazingly, this same bird seems to have moved on to Walvis Bay Lagoon over the weekend, see http://www.westerncapebirding.co.za/news.php?article=1093 for all the updates
