Bring wellies, umbrellas, warm jackets ..it is seriously wet and cold down here at the moment. I do hope the weather changes before you get here harrys.
There is a lot of talk about Rocherpan Nature Reserve at the moment..you may want to investigate that. Apparently the birding there is quite good. :)
