It is just a guide to what you can find at Thorn Park in East London. Thornpark is my favorite holiday destination. It is about 10 km out of East London on the Sutterheim road and close to one of our subscribers, Lindale Farm, owned by Terry and Robyn Bush. There is a good gravel road that can be followed and take you all the way to Gonubie. But please be careful when it rains as it can become flooded. The road leads past a game farm where many raptors can be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7709226522417656\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7709226522417656\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7555211683\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Avibase\u00a0gives a total of 428 bird species that can be found in East London.
