Pigeon Valley

Pigeon Valley is a Natural Heritage Park and formally declared municipal nature reserve in Durban, South Africa. It is an unusual example of an urban reserve with very high levels of biodiversity. It was established to provide protection for the Natal elm (''Celtis mildbraedii'') and other forest giants of the coastal climax forest.〔Bodenstein, J. (2009)〕 Another rare tree that occurs here is Natal loquat (''Oxyanthus pyriformis'') which is endemic to the Durban area and to oNgoye Forest. Pigeon Valley is about 11ha in extent, and is situated on the Berea, overlooking Durban Bay. Its unusual north-south orientation may contribute to the biodiversity, with the south-facing slope covered in canopy forest, while the north-facing slope has thorny thickets. An adjoining reservoir, previously part of the reserve, provides a patch of coastal grassland.
==Animals==

The park is home to red duiker and blue duiker. There is a troop of banded mongooses as well as slender and water mongooses.
Various species of forest birds are found here including; green twinspot, Cape white-eye, southern boubou, spotted ground-thrush, purple-crested turaco and African paradise-flycatcher. The black sparrowhawk is known to breed here. Another bird that is seldom seen but that is constantly present is buff-spotted flufftail.〔(Birds in Reserves, ADU )〕 Unusual sightings of note in recent years include European nightjar, lemon dove, mountain wagtail, black-throated wattle-eye and black cuckoo. The current bird list for Pigeon Valley includes 152〔http://birp.adu.org.za/site_summary.php?site=29523059〕 species.
The spotted ground-thrush is of particular note, as Pigeon Valley is one of the places where this endangered bird can be most reliably found in winter. It arrives typically in late March or early April, and is present until August or September.
