Pink-throated twinspot

Pink-throated twinspot

The pink-throated twinspot is one of the specials that draw birders to Cape Vidal, part of the sought-after cast held by the swamp forest and pans of the Eastern Shores.

When and where to see them

Look for it on a slow, early walk through the forest and its edges. You do not need a guide; a pair of binoculars, a bird list and a little patience will do.
