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.

Our Etymology Team had an incredible experience this week at the neighbouring conservancy property, joining forces with an external researcher in search of exclusion bags used to study specific pollinators. Amidst the breathtaking fynbos landscape, they immersed themselves in a morning of discovery and learning.
Venturing through the diverse flora, they not only assisted with the research effort but also delved into the fascinating world of frogs. Learning to identify these amphibians through their unique morphological traits and distinctive calls added a new dimension to their ecological understanding.
In their exploration, they stumbled upon the captivating beauty of restios, further enriching their appreciation for the intricate ecosystems that surround us.

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.
