At both caravan parks, Livingston's Lourie are abundant. Also look for Brown Scrub-robin, Olive Bush Shrike, Grey Sunbird, White-eared Barbet, and Yellow-bellied Greenbul. At Iphiva you could add Woodwood's Batis, Green Coucal, Yellow-spotted Nicator, Grey Waxbill and Gorgeous Bush Shrike to your list and at Sugarloaf, Pink-backed Pelican, Black-throated Wattle-eye and Green Twinspot which may be seen feeding below the casurina trees (mainly in winter).

Lake St Lucia is the largest estuarine system in Africa and along its shoreline you could see large flocks of Lesser and Greater Flamingo. Wooly-necked, Yellow-billed and Saddle-billed Storks, Pink-backed and White Pelicans, Ruff, Ruddy Turnstone, Ringed and Grey Plovers and White-winged and Whiskered Terns to mention but a few. Look in the reedbeds for Red-headed Quelea and at the southern end of the lake for Mangrove Kingfisher (mainly April to September). Red-chested Flufftail are also found on the lake edge and Buff-spotted Flufftail in the adjacent dune forest thickets.

At Charter's Creek. Fanie's Island and False Bay, African Broadbill. White-throated Robin, Neergaard's Sunbird, Pink-throated Twinspot, together with Yellow-spotted Nicator, Yellow White-eye, Brown and Bearded Scrub Robin and Crested Guineafowl frequent these areas.
