Alex commented: “We are convinced it was a trafficked animal that died and was tossed overboard, maybe one or two hours before we found her, as she was immaculate when discovered in the surf.” However, this is yet to be confirmed.

Helmet Vanga (Euryceros ptevostii) Madagascar 2022

10/01/2023

Helmet Vanga, We had great expectations of ticking off all the endemic birds listed in the table below. We were, however, totally unexpected of just how big a task this would be. In the end, we only managed to tick off a few endemics, but the consolation was that our two main target birds were logged: Helmet Vanga and the Cuckoo Roller.

Flocking to Marion in 2022 (Flock to Marion 2022)

Bon Voyage!

As the MSC Orchestra sailed out of Cape Town Harbour, we needed to pinch ourselves to ensure this wasn’t a dream. After three years of careful planning and many hurdles, Birdlife South Africa’s Flock to Marion was underway. We were heading into the roughest, stormiest ocean in the world. We were going where no cruise liner had dared venture, the Southern Ocean, specifically Prince Edward and Marion Island.
