GOLDEN PIPIT – these things seem to be dripping off the trees in the Lowveld at the moment…!!! A single bird has been found this morning on the H1-8 road (main tar road between Punda Maria and Pafuri) in the Kruger National Park just north of the turn-off to the S59 road, near the power lines. I don’t have an exact location for it, and signal is very bad up there, so I can’t seem to get it at the moment either – reported by Yolande van der Merwe.
