Cape Gannets at Lambert's Bay, South Africa

A drive out to the Cape Gannet colony at Lambert's Bay proved quite disappointing as the tide was fully in with a swell and the waves were coming over the walkway. Sanparks had closed the walkway for the day so we couldn't get to the bird hide, quite a disappointment. We ate lunch and the tide had gone out and the waves diminished but the walkway remained closed for the day.....jobsworth springs to mind ! So, viewing from a distance it was.  It was only day three of our trip and we were treated to our first Hake and Chips......that I then had every day !  About £4 and the fish that fresh and white.....simply delicious xx

Cape Fur Seals lounging on the rocks, you can see the swell of the sea

Cape Gannets ......this was the walkway to the bird hide, not surprised it was closed !



Cape Gannets......thousands of them !

A small town that had it's food processing factories along the waterfront. Lots of gulls here in the skips

A pied kingfisher flew by


Greater Crested Terns on every bit of seaside grass, quite a spectacle



Happy as a pig in swill with a plate of the freshest fish infront of me. Simon had the Hake Calamari Combo, flipping delicious ! The chippie was called Isabella's, right in the harbour.
