BEACH BIRDS The African Black Oystercatcher makes a striking pose with its orange-red bill and waders against its all blackish-brown body. The White fronted Sandplover is a common coastal bird that loves the sandy shores, estuaries and river systems surrounding Seaton. WETLAND BIRDS The African Fish Eagle’s cry is synonymous with Africa and is sighted at Seaton because of its large water body. The Spurwinged Goose averages up to 5kg (male) and is a common resident in the inland waters and floodplains. FOREST BIRDS The Purple Crested Turacco can be spotted running along branches and leaping quickly from branch to branch, often in pairs. The Martial Eagle is not very vocal, they nest on large platforms of sticks placed in trees. The Palm Nut Vulture is uncommon and very localised around the Kosi Palm (Raphia Australis), it loves the flesh from the palm fruit, as well as crabs, fish, eggs and carrion. The most powerful eagle on the continent, the African Crowned Eagle is capable of picking up large prey including monkeys, hares, antelope, mongooses and genets. The Natal Francolin can often be spotted darting across the road or rushing from one bush to the other. The Osprey (European migrant) arrives in August/September taking up residence around rivers and estuaries and departs by May with only two nests recorded in Southern Africa in history. The most common of our large-eared owls, the Spotted Eagle Owl can be heard in the evenings.

The Garrick is identified by its sinuous lateral line running from head to tail. They prefer the wave zone and are often caught at backline. The Coachman is often found close to the bottom of rocky reefs, which are scattered all over the Seaton coastline, from close in shore to deeper reefs further out. The Pilchard (or sardine as it is commonly referred to) is the fish responsible for the famous annual “sardine run” in June/July. The Dorado is a dolphinfish with the most brilliant colours and a smooth, rounded profile. The Black Marlin – this enormous, highly migratory and pelagic species ranges across vast stretches of ocean and is the most common marlin in South African waters. The Shad feeds over sandy sea-beds in clear waters along the edges of reefs. A great one to catch off rocky points, it is also attracted to artificial light at night.
