We drove north along the coast to St Lucia on 3rd June. We had booked into the Sugarloaf Campground at the southern end of town, mainly to be close to the coastal forest, which was to be the main focus of our time here. St Lucia is a small tourist orientated town, surrounded by some of the best coastal forest birding in southern Africa. It also has some great dune forest, marshes & to the north of town some open grassland areas.
Sugarloaf Campground is enormous! It has 92 stands & we were the only people there! It proved to be a secluded & excellent base for our few days here.
The next morning we were up early exploring a nearby coastal forest trail. Birding hear is exciting but always challenging. One can hear things but seeing them is another matter, never mind getting a photograph!
To be completed!
