    Birds of South Africa

    It is the wagtails, the photo came out quite dark, but they are definitely darker than usual. They don't seem to have a fixed breeding season, but do return consistently to the same nests.

    New Sani border fee

    I'll ride up and check this week if possible, but thes a new per person fee to get through the Lesotho border at Sani top. So it's R75 road tax for your bike, and another R100 for you. It makes my Maluti beer runs quite uneconomical now.
