Date of record:   2022-11-27

Notes:   This summer visitor was seen at Kranspoortdorp since at least 13 October 2022. It was quite static in this general area although it has moved around to different trees; it was calling often. Very tolerant with human presence although we didn't approach it for close-up shots. Most of our photos were taken at 20 to 30 meters. First seen by my wife and myself on Friday 11 November, returned on Monday 14 November with a friend. Returned on Sunday 27 November with other friends. Still seen and heard (frequently) in the same general area.
