Dear Alan
My grandmother had a home – just a holiday shack really – in Amsterdamhoek on the east bank of the Swartkops in the late 20s. My wife Lyn and I have lived in this valley for over 40 years now. From 1972 to 1991. At first in the village of Swartkops on the west bank in a wonderful wood iron home – circa, 1900. Was an old hunting lodge. Then we moved to Bluewater Bay on the east bank.
On our way home from church this Sunday morning we saw this flock of flamingos. Not as pink as usual this year though. They arrive every year to nest, but normally in the upper reaches in a vast marsh area, but for reasons unknown this season have flocked towards the mouth to feed. I have never experienced this over the years
May it continue.
