Sally and I had most enjoyable birding with KZN Midlands at the Botanical Gardens in Pietermaritzburg. The day started off very misty and took its time to clear up. Despite that the birding was good. It all started with a Black Sparrowhawk as we entered the Gardens and went on from there. Here are a few of the birds we saw.
