There are two things you need to know about A Field Guide to the Wildlife of South Georgia , edited by Robert Burton and John Croxall, and produced by the South Georgia Heritage Trust. The temptation will be to jump to the Wildlife sections. Who can resist penguins and whales? I know, I say this with every review.
Take Madagascar, for example, one of the world’s highest-priority Biodiversity Hotspots: that island-continent is most famous for its penguins. Well, sort of, as there are no penguins in Madagascar, indigenous or otherwise. Larger species, that is, excluding dolphins and whales. Yet, those bird guides are hefty.
Birding has been an all-consuming interest for Patrick Cardwell since boyhood days spent in a wildlife-rich environment. Here one is close to the scenically impressive Cape of Good Hope National Park as well as the Boulder’s Coastal Park, home to hundreds of breeding African Penguins.
To that end please enjoy this quick guide of where to go birding and wildlife watching when based at any of the many World Cup locations. Don’t forget you can also see some wildlife on the road as you go ! This is a good place to see the endangered and beautiful Yellowhead and the endemic Yellow-eyed Penguin.
We have loved seeing places that few people ever get to see, and learning about the interesting wildlife that lives there. We loved seeing penguins, whales, polar bears, and wolves. We loved it when the penguins jumped out of the water, and right onto a camera man! Some of it is quiet funny as well.
