Apalis and Rudd's Apalis (the latter restricted to Acacia thick in the coastal forest), Bluemantled Flycatcher and Grey Sunbird. Wood Owl is commonly heard in the campsite at night. Check patches of seeding grass at the roadside or along the Umvubu forest Trail for mixed groups of Green Twinspot, Grey Waxbill and Redbacked Mannikin. The Umvubu Trail which starts at the campsite is excellent. The trail leads through incredibly beautiful bush with great sea views and runs along the shores of Lake Bhangazi for a while. More

Rudd's Apalis is common in the canopies of the forest, and occurs together with the Yellowbreasted Apalis. The near-endemic Olive Bush Shrike is less common and favours the less dense parts of the forest. The beautiful Yellowspotted Nicator is common in the reserve, and will be heard calling from the tree tops. A drive at night will invariably result in the calls of the Wood Owl from below the canopies of tall trees. 2. More
