There's a place I really enjoy on the False Bay side of Cape Point, I think its the spot called Bordjiesrif, where at the far northern end of the car park, there's a tidal basin and rocky beach where there are always lots and lots of terns, primarily swift terns with a few sandwich terns mixed in. I always stop there to spend some time watching these flocks wheeling over the water and often squabbling amongst themselves.
