In the pond opposite the Bull Frog our schools of fish create fragmented illusions in the pond’s mirror-like reflection.

In front of the Farm Shop our turkeys and chickens often strut about. Their efforts often paid with crumbs and nibbles.

Watch them parade the next time you visit the farm.

Spotted: The Cape cobra or yellow cobra (Naja nivea) 🐍

Commonly Cape cobras swim but not too far out to ensure they can easily reach the shore should they grow tired. These cobras are commonly found in the Western Cape and eat puff adders and rats.
