Atlasville, 23 Sep 2007

Paid a quick visit to Marievale this morning. After a few minor rain showers recently some sections of the veld are recovering after the fire in mid-June, as this photo of an African Pipit shows.

The only migrants in evidence are many more Ruff, adding to the single bird seen 5 weeks ago. Others photographed were Three-banded Plover and Cape Shoveler, and this Rock Dove. Not sure why anyone would ring a Rock Dove.
