A recent field trip to the Calitzdorp area area revealed an avian surprise – Whitefronted Bee-eaters Merops bullockoides were noted along the Gamka River. This is way out of their recorded distribution range …. Museum ornithologist Dr Phil Whittington will offer some comment on this in the near future.
