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.
The Grootbos Lodge staff participated in an exciting photo competition, and we are thrilled to announce our joint winners!

Thank you for the kind messages of concern and care this week as an early summer fynbos fire burned between Gansbaai and Stanford.

From all of us at Grootbos Foundation, we wish you a fabulous weekend full of wild discoveries.
