Weenen Game Reserve and a few private game farms

A flock of about 25 Greater and Lesser was seen on BBD in November 2003 on the dam in front of the farmhouse on Haven's Rest near Angikatali Siding. Greg Royden-Turner had 3 flamingoes on his dam at Waterfall in December 2003 but can't say whether they were G or L.

 In the 1960's a well known Greytonian saw a Bateleur where the Wembley Dam is now situate. Realising that it was a very rare occurrence in our area he thought he would make a valuable contribution to the study of birds and so shot it in order to prove his sighting. He proudly spread it out on the desk of the local Park's Board Officer who immediately burst forth into a tirade of abuse at our confused hero. He was told that it was probably the only sighting of the magnificent bird south of the Tugela and he goes and shoots the (expletive deleted) thing stone (expletive deleted) dead. It was stuffed and put on display in the Durban Museum.
