This blog follows the journey of my MSc undertaken during 2013-2014 as I investigated the lives, loves and loathings of Kelp Gulls, Larus dominicanus vetula, breeding in Plettenberg Bay.

Fynbos fun
We were fortunate enough to find some time to join Mark in Nature's Valley for a morning of fynbos ringing before Shane left. It was an early start to the day, leaving home at 5am and setting up nets in a rather chilly, cloudy dawn. Our ringing table moved under shelter as it rained on and off for most of the morning. Despite the miserable weather we caught a total of 27 birds, and I was able to add 2 new species to my list: Swee Waxbill and Southern Double-collared Sunbird.
