We've just spent a week at Mykonos, Langebaan, and during that time, paid a visit to Lambert's Bay - it took about 2 hours to do the trip up the West Coast but was well worth it.
For those who have never been to Lambert's Bay, the main attraction is the Cape Gannet colony. (The fish & chips were also good!) There are approximately twenty thousand pairs of breeding gannets on Bird Island, which actually isn’t an island at all, but an area joined to the mainland by a short causeway. It’s a very (VERY) smelly & noisy place so it’s a relief to go into the bird hide to get away from the stench of the guano. From the hide one has a really magnificent view of the birds as they gather in their thousands.
A telephoto lens would have been nice........
