Artemis Ringing


























Did a spot of ringing in Andrea's beautiful garden a few days ago.  This was the first little one in the net, an Olive Thrush.


After many years of tenderly lavishing the garden with love and care, she and Kobus have created a wonderfully lush indigenous haven just right for birds and beasts of all kinds.


The attention to detail in the garden provides interest and fantasy around every corner.


Even scorpions have a home here!


Birds ringed were Olive Thrush, Southern Masked Weaver, Cape Robin-chat, Cape Canary, Cape White-eye and Common Fiscal.


Thanks Andrea and Kobus for your hospitality and we hope to be back soon to ring some more of your little feathered friends for you.
