- Description
- Over a ten-year period, each December the same observer counted waterbirds on the same stretch of the Kariega River in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The site surveyed is dominated by waders, with variable numbers of other feeding guilds. Piscivorous birds in particular are poorly represented. Differences in the numbers of birds and species recorded, both within a single month and between years, are only partly explicable by environmental conditions on this permanently open estuary. From our comparison with nearby sites, we conclude local movements between rivers and pans in the region must occur regularly over short time intervals.
