14 October 2024 - Rondebosch Common
My Hotel was close to work, so I had an early breakfast and headed to the nearby Rondebosch Common for a morning walk, but to also try and locate the resident Rufous-breasted Sparrowhawk.
After I found a parking, I decided to do a quick recce walk (stupidly without my camera) amongst the walkers, runners and dog walkers at this popular spot. Of course, at the furthermost point from my car, one of the Sparrowhawk's flew past me at eye level - great view in my memory, but so cross with myself not to have taken my camera.
I hurried back to the car, got my camera and inadvertently brought Murphy along with me. I headed back to the same spot where of course the Sparrowhawk was nowhere to be found. Disappointed, I had to make due with this magnificent view on the way back to the car

Before heading to the office for another productive day, before flying back to Jozi tomorrow afternoon.
