Haka Park, May 5th

We spent half the morning ringing birds in Haka park and decided to finish early, as we were not catching much. I did a quick drive through the woodlands to try photograph some birds. I hardly saw or heard a bird until I was about to give up, when I stumbled across a bird party containing Cardinal and Bennett's Woodpeckers, Black Cuckooshrike, Southern Hyliota, Stierling's Wren-warbler, Miombo and Southern Black Tits, Green-capped Eremomela, Yellow-throated Petronia and a lovely Spotted Creeper.
Cape and Yellow-throated Longclaws were on the main vlei near the bridge.

I was lucky to find this Spotted Creeper on a branch right in front of me!
