Your reference to Cape Town University reminded me that I once subscribed to the Cape Vulture Study Group. In return, I received a nice bumper sticker which I placed on the back of my brand new Ford bakkie's tailgate. I doubt I have ever seen a Cape vulture. Yesterday a huge bird was circling high in the sky over Cambridge. Big, wide wingspan, perhaps a cunningly disguised surveillance drone intended to enforce social distancing?
