Haarwegskloof Renosterveld Reserve isn’t only the perfect place to see birds – it’s also the place to learn about them.
Haarwegskloof Renosterveld Reserve isn’t only the perfect place to see birds – it’s also the place to learn about them.
Two Wild & Wise Retreats held at the Haarwegskloof Renosterveld Reserve in October offered something truly exceptional.
It began with a surprise discovery in the murky waters of the Kars River, in the heart of the Overberg renosterveld. Seven years later, that unexpected find has officially been named and described: the Agulhas redfin (𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘩𝘢𝘴).
A new species has just been added to the Cape Floral Kingdom, and more specifically to renosterveld. And it’s one that can only be found in the Overberg.
