The Button Birding area hosts some of finest species of birds available in Southern Africa, due in large part to the extensive array of habitats found here. Specials such as Cape Parrot and Blue Swallow are amongst our list of rare and endangered species, whilst our logo bird, the mysterious Black-rumped Buttonquail, is resident on the farm. This small quail is classified as endangered in South Africa, and inhabits well drained open grassland with bare ground between the tufts. You may see the black rump as the bird explodes up from your feet but a quick eye is needed as it will fly fast for a very short distance and then drop and disappear.
