Stoney Point

[droffarc]

At Stony point three species of cormorant; the Crowned cormorant, Cape cormorant and Bank cormorant, all of which breed on the outer rocks. There are also Hartlaub’s Gulls and Kelp Gulls which forage in the colony, while the Rock Hyrax, more commonly known as the Dassie, can be seen on the surrounding rocks.

The colony lies on the site of the old Waaygat Whaling Station, which was used to harvest and process whale meat in the early to mid 1900s. Remnants of the infrastructure for this long-defunct industry can still be found at the site.

Do not disturb the birds, they don't like it, Esp. not the pesky seagulls

Didn't seem like the birds objected to the Spark too much. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I do that quite often, thenno-one can say I overflew their property

Like you, I also found that the Black Oystercatchers attack one's drone immediately, so I made a YouTube video of this footage:
