    Notes The water levels in Nylsvley itself were very high. The grass was long, making it difficult to count the birds accurately. The increase of Verbena brasiliensis is disturbing. The vegetation in front of Crake hide is encroaching and hindering visibility. One Queen of the night was seen at S24 37.84 E28 40.8.
