Bird Island Lodge, offers accommodation and day trips into the iSimangaliso Wetland Park

   Well we have been talking bout this for some time, and recently I started doing an audit of our walking trails, and found them overgrown due to nonuse during the lockdown. The two new trails are walkable, but currently have no benches or tables at the rest stops on the way.  The two walking trails under repair, need rest stops, as well as some hides or screens at selected butterfly hotspots. The birds in the bush here are not that skittish, but as you get closer to the rural housing spots, some birds become extremely nervous and seem to be awear that they are on the menu. The other day I was in the bush alone, and had an incident where the vines I was pulling out the path broke an old rotten tree.  Problem was that there was a #BirdsNest situated at the exact spot where this rotten tree snapped. I was distracted by some strange pink moving things inside the tree that was about one and half meters off the trail.   It was three tiny birdies, with no feathers and super big bulging eyes

 I just wasted about 4 hours trying to get a pic to post and advertise our camp sites here at Bird Island Lodge.  Came home for lunch and my mate Norman brags with four wonderful photos of a butterfly that posed for him. Butterly lovers will really enjoy camping at Bird Island Lodge on the Nibela Peninsula of lake St Lucia. Now we need a little help here to catalogue and identify the many butterfly species found here on the Nibela Peninsula of Lake St Lucia. We are not inside the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, but there are no fences between us and the park. This makes bird Island Lodge a unique birding destination, where we have Bird Island just North East of us, False Bay and the associated Sand Forests South West of us, the Flamingoes on the Hluhluwe river mud flats just North West of us,  and Hells Gate South of us, and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park is on three sides of the Nibela Peninsula Just in case you do not know, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park is South Africa's first world he
