I visited today SAANR after my almost three weeks holiday in Finland. Migration is in full swing and many more migrants will be anticipated to arrive in coming weeks. Blue Rock Thrushes have been on the move recently peaking just now. Same goes with Gray Wagtails as well. Lonely Common Crane was a slight suprise by the lake.
