Kaptölpel-Kolonie in Lambert's Bay - Südafrika

Im Bird Island Nature Reserve in Lambert's Bay an der Westküste Südafrikas befindet sich eine der grössten Brutkolonien von Kaptölpeln im südlichen Afrika. Von einem Aussichtsturm aus kann man die Vögel aus der Nähe beobachten. Die Insel ist ein wichtiger Brut- und Rastplatz für Kormorane und vor allem Kaptölpel (Morus capensis). Die Vögel sind an Besucher gewöhnt und so kann man bis auf wenige Meter an sie heran und das Balz- und Brutverhalten aus nächster Nähe erleben. Die Insel ist einer von sechs Orten weltweit, wo die Kaptölpel brüten, und der einzige Platz, der leicht zu erreichen ist.

The Cape Gannet Colony at Bird Island is one of the most monitored colonies in the world. As the only accessible spot in the world to see Cape gannets breed, Bird Island is a bird-watcher’s paradise. The island’s hide is perfectly situated to observe their activities first-hand and learn more about their breeding habits. Other birds include the African penguin, the Cape cormorant and the kelp gull.

Lambert's Bay is een klein slaperig stadje aan de westkust van Zuid Afrika. Je kan er genieten van de rust, lange witte stranden, Birds Island met Jan van Gent-kolonie en Aalscholvers. Er is 1 simpel hotel en een handvol restaurantjes.

Ik bezocht Lambert's Bay als onderdeel van een prachtige Djoser groepsreis door zuidelijk Afrika van Kaapstad, via Namibia en Botswana naar de Victoria Watervallen.

Some Bird Photography and The Misadventures Continue

Bird photography isn't something I do every day. Mostly because I don't really have the patience for this type of photography. But here in Lambert's Bay, South Africa there's a place called Bird Island National Reserve and I couldn't resist the urge to go somewhere with a name like that.
So, we woke up and did a little bird photography at the reserve. It was such a cool place, and it was absolutely covered with birds. I don't think I've seen something like it in South Africa before. Jodie and I sat there for ages just snapping away photos of the beautiful mess of birds.
After our bird photography session, we headed north towards Namibia. On the way, we decided to camp at Goegap Nature Reserve which is home to quite a bit of wildlife. But, our series of misadventures on this trip continued as we broke an important part of our tent and couldn't repair it. Luckily, the park warden let us camp out in a bush hut.
In the park, there were some wildlife photography opportunities. But, most of them were simply way too far from the van to get great photos. So, I'll have to settle with the bird photography of the morning.

Cape Gannets

There are three species of gannets worldwide. Gannets mate for life and can survive for up to 30 years. They usually breed in colonies on offshore islands. Gannets may lack grace on land, however, they are master fliers like these Cape Gannets.
