The exceptional PIGEON VALLEY

When your wait is rewarded by the sight of a male Buff-spotted Flufftail coming to bathe before you, resplendent in its chestnut front and dark back, you may forget that you are close to the city centre. So too when you watch a Water Mongoose shuffle through the undergrowth, or be privileged enough to see the elusive Short-barred Sapphire butterfly.
