July saw the implementation of the first phase of the Wetlands Section (at KDM8) of the KDM Biodiversity project.
High Constantia donated 120 Marsh Butterlfy Lily Rhizomes to the KDM Biodiversity project. These have been planted in the wet drainage lines leading down to the ponds at the two short holes, the 8th and the 13th (see magenta lines below). Marsh Butterfly Lilies thrive in moist areas, but are dormant from January to March when these drainage lines will be dry. They are commonly found alongside the banks of streams in the Western and Eastern Cape.
July Sightings
Linda Stephens spotted a Malachite Kingfisher in the reeds on the 11th on 14 July. It would be wonderful if a KDM member could spot this again, and even better if they could capture a photograph and post it on iNaturalist.

Upcoming Events
Nicci Illing will be giving a presentation on Wednesday, 07 October after the Wednesday Golf competition, and will show members how to use iNaturalist to record their sightings.
We will have been some “housekeeping” sessions on KDM2 and KDM7 to make sure the seedlings we have planted have sufficient water, and also to make sure they are not overgrown with grass.
