Wow, what a great place, right in the city. Loved all the burd sitings, especilly the Reed Corrmorant eating the huge tilapia. Thanks for sharing.

Great birding. Good to see birds on the other side of the ocean. We seem to have a lot of similar species here in Florida. Great birding video enjoyed watching. 👍

Thank you so much Richard, for your enthralling and wonderfully filmed videos. I’m in Canada, but grew up in Zambia and was an avid birder even as a child. Your videos have awakened something deeply felt in me. I am now determined to visit SA and perhaps further north to focus on birding. What a treasure trove you are building.

Doesn't Canada have nice birds too? I'm sure you can do some birding there too to get your regular fix?

Fantastic video mate, funny enough I'm about to make my own birding video of Intaka after returning from Cape Town a few weeks ago. Thought I'd search KZfaq for other Intaka videos and found yours. Very well put together.

I can hear Little Rush Warbler in the background of the Yellow-billed Ducks. I always hear it but haven't managed to see it yet.

Hi Richard. We follow your birding videos from your travels near and far. We live in Milnerton and have been to Intaka with interesting sightings, but through your lens it looks even more spectacular. Thank you for reminding us of what is available on our doorstep, and also for ALL the other videos that you post. The subject matter and the quality are outstanding. Please keep posting.
