An unexpected lifer in the form of African Skimmer made us rush from Marievale to Carltonville and pushes me to 624.

525 after getting African Skimmer at De Pan North of Carletonville, Gauteng yesterday. I've already added 22 lifers this year and it's only been 2 weeks.


Shot, Matt!

I'm unfamiliar with this area - any chance of some directions via pm? :whistle:

Sorry Huntsman, the bird was not seen again yesterday. It is believed to have moved on.

Thanks wildtuinman -

Huntsman, it is situated on private property so I am not sure how accessible it is under normal circumstances. Apart from the specials that were on display there this weekend there is nothing else really to break a leg about.
