Some visitors take the long route here
Blue Jays, a North American species of bird will migrate to these ruins in pairs once every eight years.
Travelling over the Atlantic and hovering over mainland Europe, they slowly make their way down to The Cape via the East African Coast.
This journey is long and enjoyable for the birds but many wonder why they wait eight years to make the journey.
