Nice to see all kinds of flying, even so close, that sure can be a dangerous combination sometimes, had a air force plane crash here years ago when they ran into some geese I believe it was, sorry can't remember all the details but I think it killed a lot of people in that crash.
They went as far as to put pigs on a island near float plane activity to destroy the seagull eggs and cut the bird/plane encounters down to zero.
I still enjoy the photos of planes as well as birds, very nice.
I was just in Cape Town a couple weeks ago, what a nice place, we will get 2 winters this year, yours now and ours just around the corner.
Isn't that Table Mountain in the background of your photo. Dave

Yes this can be dangerous, but there are a lot of protected wetlands around the area so it would be nearly impossible to prevent birds at that little take off area.
