		The works have been one of the Cape Bird Club's monitoring projects since the 1950s, but regular counts only started in July 1983 and have continued monthly since then (with only a few counts being missed due to extreme weather conditions!).
		The latter figure is an extreme upper limit however, with counts usually averaging 15 000 birds during summer and 8 000 during winter.
		This huge variation in overall abundance is entirely dependent on the number of Cape Cormorants using the site as a post-feeding roost, which can number anything from a handful of birds to 15 000, the latter sometimes representing half of the total count!

		Stolen, P.; McKinney, F. Bigamous behaviour of captive cape teal.
		Monogamy is thought to be the usual mating system in dabbling ducks and documented cases of bigamy are very rare for any Anas species (Lebret 1961).
		The following observations on wild-caught Cape Teal Anas capensis, breeding in flight pens, show that bigamy is possible in this species and suggest that it may be expected to occur in wild birds.
