WOOD WARBLER: still present at Sefapane in Phalaborwa this morning. It’s been raining at the site, which has apparently made it difficult to view the bird, and this is the first update I’ve received today.
Reported by Jan Pienaar.

Here’s some exciting news. Andre McDonald has found the WOOD WARBLER again. It’s still at Sefapane lodge but “some distance from the original location, moving in a mixed feeding flock, close to the beginning of the ponds, in the fever trees”.
I don’t know the exact topography of the lodge gardens, but I hope this description helps any future twitchers.

Kind regards
