I spent the day with the guys from The Birding Life, the main goal being the rarely reported Buff-breasted Sandpiper. We woke up at the crack of dawn and left for the northern reaches of KwaZulu-Natal’s north coast to try and connect with this amazing bird.

Follow the adventures of the day as we get lost in the isiMangaliso forest, explore the St. Lucia estuary and connect with multiple species during the day.
