Fiscal Flycatcher Babies Thrive
Our parting shot this week is of the fiscal flycatcher babies that were born a week ago in a nest just outside our office.
We're thrilled to share a fascinating find from our conservation efforts! Swollen restio beetles (Pseudorupilia ruficollis) were caught on camera indulging in a pollen feast on restio plants.
This sighting highlights the intricate ecological relationships within our fynbos ecosystem. These beetles play a vital role in pollination, contributing to the biodiversity and health of our natural environment.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to uncover the wonders of nature through our conservation initiatives.

Thank you for the kind messages of concern and care this week as an early summer fynbos fire burned between Gansbaai and Stanford.
The view at Grootbos shows a clear outline of where the fire moved towards the Walker Bay area and onto the reserve.
From all of us at Grootbos Foundation, we wish you a fabulous weekend full of wild discoveries.
