Finally, a Cuckoo Finch ... or 50

A rush out to the farm dam outside Kroondal, Rustenburg, yesterday turned out to be absolutely worth it.

My wife and I  joined Geoff and Shaun from the Rustenburg Bird Club and within 10 minutes were spoilt with fantastic views of a male Cuckoo Finch sitting not more than 5 metres from the vehicle.

 Over the next 30 minutes we saw a flock of easily 50 individuals! WOW!! This is definitely worth a visit for anyone in the area.
