The South Island National Park is home to a plethora of birdlife, including 34 species of migratory birds from Europe, which are most brilliantly visible between March and May. Goliath herons, African skimmers, and at least 23 other species breed here. African open-billed storks, ducks, and gulls forage along the coastlines, and lesser flamingos are drawn to the lakes on the volcanic islands.
