She made it a mission to find and photograph new destinations.Like most of us, she initially found bird photography to be challenging, but it soon became one of her favourite themes. After realising how much can be learned from each species, Karen began spending more time watching, appreciating and capturing images of birds. She has developed a knack for catching the ‘exact moment’ of them in action and this talent is reflected in the aquatic-themed images in this portfolio. www.karenseidel.com

Southern SIGHTINGS
The late summer period naturally started quietening down after the midsummer excitement, but there were still some classy rarities on offer for birders all over the subregion. As always, none of the records included here have been adjudicated by any of the subregion's Rarities Committees.
flood impact on wetland birds
One of the features of a warming planet is increasingly erratic rainfall; years of drought followed by devastating floods. Fortunately, many waterbirds are pre-adapted to cope with such extremes, especially in southern Africa where they have evolved to exploit episodic rainfall events in semi-arid and arid regions. But how do waterbirds respond to floods in areas where rainfall - and access to water - is more predictable? Peter Ryan explores the consequences of recent floods on the birds of the Western Cape's Olifants River valley.
