SA National Parks says it's investigating the mortality of birds that were recently found in lakes in the Garden Route recently.
The Area Manager of the Wilderness section of the Garden Route National Park, Sandra Taljaard, says they're taking the matter seriously and are monitoring.
She says since the first observations of this occurrence, immediate action was taken and a process put in place to get to the root of the problem of the bird mortalities.
Taljaard says local and state veterinary services as well as SANParks Veterinary Services were approached to help with the investigation of specimens collected for analysis.
She says the ongoing removal and disposal of carcasses at the lakes is being carried out.
