Although not as rich in bird-life as some areas in South Africa, 92 species have been recorded in the reserve. Species most likely to be seen include the Cape Sugar Bird, Sunbirds, Rock Thrush and Rock Jumper. Raptors include the Jackal Buzzard and a pair of Black Eagle, the latter feeding mainly on dassies. Limited areas of thick scrub and forest alongside streams support numbers of seed and insect-eating species such as the Rameron Pigeon, Canaries, Flycatchers and White-eyes. The summer months herald the arrival of migrants of which the swallows and cuckoos are the most obvious. Some birds are adapted to feeding on fynbos species such as proteas and ericas, and in this way play a vital role as pollinators. |
