Intro:
On 15th of November a group of Norwegian and Dutch birders
set off to Kenya for a two- and three-weeks birdwatching trip. The
main focus of the trip was thus on birds, but we would also be pleased
by any mammal or reptile that would cross our path.
The participants on this
birdwatching trip to Kenya were Karl Frafjord (Tromsø, Norway), Leif
Gabrielsen (Bryne, Norway), Terje Skryten (Hønefoss, Norway), Torill
Aaserud Skryten (Hønefoss, Norway), Morten Nilsen (Moss, Norway),
Trond Erik Pedersen (Skjetten, Norway), Koert Mulder (Haarlem, The
Netherlands), Reinier Mulder (Haarlem, The Netherlands) and Kjetil
Gudmestad (Kleppe, Norway). Members of the group that left after 2
weeks were Paul Gordon (Oslo, Norway), Karl Petter Gade (Sandefjord,
Norway), Jan Jacobsen (Blystad, Norway) and Audun Brekke (Oslo,
Norway). Randi Anette Skryten (Hønefoss, Norway) joined our group for
the third week.
Tour-leader was Risto Skjelnes (Leeuwarden, The Netherlands).
Itinerary:
Sunday 16th November
After arrival in Nairobi
the previous evening we started the morning with some birdwatching in
the hotel gardens before breakfast, thus providing a soft landing for
Kenya. Our best birds were African Harrier Hawk, African Goshawk, Cape
Robin-chat, Yellow-breasted Apalis, Black-backed Puffback and African
Citril. After breakfast we headed towards Naro Moru at the foot of Mt.
Kenya, but we stopped briefly at the Blue Posts Hotel, Thika, hoping
to see the Grey-olive Greenbul. Beeing here too late in the morning we
failed to see this rare bird, but some interesting birds turned up:
Mottled Swift, Spot-flanked Barbet, White-browed Robin-chat,
Red-billed Firefinch and Black-and-white Mannikin. A later stop at a
small pond closer to Mt. Kenya produced our first waterfowl, including
White-backed Duck and Southern Pochard and other birds seen
on the trip to Naro Moru included Black and Woolly-necked Storks,
Wahlberg`s Eagle, White-rumped Swift, White-necked Raven, Holub`s
Golden Weaver and the only Brimstone Canary seen on the whole trip.
At the Naro Moru River Lodge,
where we were staying, we had some very fine birdwatching the last
hour before it got dark, Eleonora`s Falcon, Hartlaub`s Turaco, Montane
Nightjar, Crowned Hornbill, Red-faced Crombec, Tacazze and Northern
Double-collared Sunbirds and Spectacled and African Golden Weavers
being some highlights.
Monday 17th
November
Our plan was to drive as
high up Mt. Kenya as possible with jeeps hired for this purpose. This
failed, however, as only one jeep turned up in the morning and we soon
found out that it was impossible to drive all the way up with one jeep
and one minibus. Consequently we had to bird the lower parts of the
mountain, i.e. the first few kilometers after the national park gate.
This was not bad at all actually, and we saw some very good birds
here: Mountain Buzzard, African Hawk Eagle, African Crowned Eagle,
Jackson`s Francolin, Red-fronted Parrot, Olive Pigeon, Scarce Swift,
Narina Trogon, White-headed Wood-hoopoe, White-starred Robin,
Cinnamon-bracken Warbler, Mountain Yellow Warbler, Hunter`s Cisticola,
Chestnut-throated Apalis, White-tailed Crested Flycatcher, Grey
Cuckoo-shrike, Montane Oriole, Abbott`s Starling, Golden-winged
Sunbird, Black-headed Waxbill and Yellow-crowned Canary. The most
sought-after of these is probably the Abbott`s Starling, a rare East
African endemic. In the afternoon we again
did some relaxed birding in the gardens around our lodge and in the
grasslands surrounding it and we “bagged” Shelley`s Francolin,
Fawn-coloured Lark, Pectoral-patch Cisticola, Amethyst Sunbird,
Northern Double-collared Sunbird and Northern Grosbeak-canary.
Tuesday 18th
November
We started the day checking out the Naro Moru River area around the
Youth Hostel, and birds seen here, and at our lodge, included Eastern
Bronze-naped Pigeon, African Green Pigeon, Lesser Honeyguide, Mosque
Swallow, Slender-billed Greenbul, Rüppell`s Robin-chat, Little Rock
Thrush, Brown Woodland Warbler, Grey-capped Warbler, Golden-winged
Sunbird and Red-headed Weaver. The highlight was probably a
Red-throated Wryneck, but this bird was unfortunately only seen by one
observer. The rest of the day we basically
spend driving to Lake Naivasha, via Nairobi, but we did have a few
productive stops. Just north of Thika we pulled off the road at a
suitable place to have lunch, and while enjoying this we were
surprised by a group of Northern Pied Babblers. Later we stopped at
Limuru Pond, which was full of birds. Our targets were the Maccoa Duck
and the Hottentott Teal, which we soon picked out, alongside more
common waterbirds as Red-billed Duck, Yellow-billed Teal, Southern
Pochard and Red-knobbed Coot. A White Wagtail was a minor surprise.
Our last stop before Naivasha was at the Kinangop
Plateau where we saw our target bird, the Sharpe`s Longclaw, without
much difficulty. Other birds here were Red-capped Lark and Capped
Wheatear.
Wednesday 19th
November
We checked out the shore of Lake Naivasha at the Fisherman`s Camp
before breakfast and bagged birds as Little Bittern, Spur-winged
Goose, Black Crake, Giant Kingfisher and Lesser Swamp Warbler. After
breakfast we went into Hell`s Gate NP and had some really good birding
until about 3 p.m. Birds we saw included Rüppell`s Griffon Vulture,
Verreaux`s Eagle, Kori Bustard, Nyanza Swift, Mottled Swift,
White-fronted Bee-eater, Common Scimitarbill, Abyssinian Scimitarbill,
Greater Honeyguide, Mountain Wagtail, Abyssinian Black Wheatear,
Pectoral-patch Cisticola, Red-throated Tit, Red-tailed Shrike,
Yellow-bellied Waxbill, Crimson-rumped Waxbill and Cinnamon-breasted
Rock Bunting. Of mammals 3 Klipspringers and 3 Oribi were most
noteworthy. After we bought some foodstuff
at a local market we headed up to the Crater Lake and spend the rest
of the day here. The most important bird here is the Grey-crested
Helmet-shrike, which we found with almost ridiculous ease; a flock at
the parking lot just after we arrived stayed for a few minutes. Other
birds in this area were Dusky Turtle Dove, White-headed Barbet,
Bearded Woodpecker and Brown-crowned Tchagra.
After it got dark we went on a night gamedrive,
which was only a partial success, as we were given only one spotlight,
meaning that the people in one bus saw some interesting animals, the
folks in the other bus saw virtually nothing. Animals seen included
lots of Cape Hares, 3 Bat-eared Foxes, 1 Hippopotamus, 2 Defassa
Waterbuck, Kirk`s Long-snouted Dik-dik (very common) and Lesser Galago
(1 seen well).
Thursday 20th
November
Ofter some easy birdwatching around our campsite before breakfast we
headed for Lake Nakuru. Here we had some good birding around some of
the lodges, i.e. Lion Hill Lodge and Lake Nakuru Lodge: Ostrich, Scaly
Francolin, Greater Honeyguide, Arrow-marked Babbler, Little Rock
Thrush, Sulphur-breasted Bush-shrike and Northern Puffback, to mention
a few. When we got down to the lakeshore a heavy rain started to pour
down, and this essentially ruined our birding here. Of birds we did
see, Grey-headed Gull was the most notable (only sighting on the
trip). After lunch in Nakuru town we headed
north to Lake Baringo where we checked in at Robert`s Camp.
Friday 21st
November
We started the day at the Lake Baringo cliffs and the dry and scrubby
surroundings of the cliffs and we were accompanied by a local guide,
Douglas. During the morning hours we experienced some really superb
birding and some of the good findings here were Ayres`s Hawk-eagle,
Pygmy Falcon, Lanner Falcon, Spotted Thick-knee, Heuglin`s Courser,
Spotted Eagle-owl, White-faced Scops Owl, Yellow-bellied Eremomela,
Buff-bellied Warbler, Fan-tailed Raven, Bristle-crowned Starling,
Grey-headed Silverbill and White-bellied Canary. The real highlight
here though were the good numbers of Nightjars we found. In an area of
less than a hectare we foung a total of 15 Slender-tailed Nightjars, 2
Plain Nightjars and 1 female Long-tailed Nightjar (outside this area
we saw none!). The last-mentioned species is probably rare so far
south in Kenya. Other good birds seen this
day were Yellow-billed Egret, Black-headed Plover, Verreaux`s Eagle
Owl and Northern Brownbul. The Eagle Owls were breeding inside the
camping ground.
Saturday 22nd
November
Another productive day at Lake Baringo and some of the birds we saw
were Green-backed Heron, Goliath Heron, Fulvous Whistling Duck,
Crested Francolin, Pearl-spotted Owlet, Blue-cheeked Bee-eater,
Red-and-yellow Barbet, Lesser Honeyguide, Brown-tailed Rock Chat,
White-shouldered Cliff Chat, Northern Crombec, Pygmy Batis,
Grey-headed Bush-shrike, Hunter`s Sunbird and Northern and Lesser
Masked Weavers.A search for Lichtenstein`s Sandgrouse in the evening
was unsuccesful.
Sunday 23rd
November
Early in the morning we left for Lake Bogoria and
we drove straight to the hot springs at the lakeshore. Good birds here
included Cape Teal, Three-banded Plover, Brown Parrot, Rufous-crowned
Roller, Rufous Bush Chat, Silverbird, Mouse-coloured Penduline Tit,
Black-cheeked Waxbill and a Green-winged Pytilia. A real surprise was
a fly-by Pacific Golden Plover. The beautiful scenery with the
steaming springs and thousands of flamingos made the day even more
enjoyable. At noon we drove towards Kitale,
but we had a few short stops at the Elgeyo escarpment. These stops
were not very productive but we did record Shikra, White-crested
Helmet-shrike, Northern Puffback and Red-headed Weaver.
Monday 24th
November
We spend the entire day at Saiwa Swamp NP, a small but truly enjoyable
forested national park. Many of the birds seen here we later saw at
Kakamega Forest as well, but the most noteworthy sightings in Saiwa
Swamp were Tambourine Dove, Blue-spotted Wood Dove, Asian Lesser
Cuckoo, Blue-headed Coucal, Double-toothed Barbet, Yellow-throated
Leaf-love, Pale-breasted Illadopsis, Grey-winged Robin, Snowy-headed
Robin-chat, Little Rush Warbler, Chubb`s Cisticola, Black-throated
Apalis, Black-collared Apalis, Black-throated Wattle-eye, Lühder`s
Bush-shrike, Amethyst Sunbird, Black-billed Weaver, Yellow Bishop and
Black-crowned Waxbill. Late afternoon we drove back to our hotel in
Kitale.
Tuesday 25th
November
Early morning departure for the Kongelai escarpment north of Kitale.
Our main target here was the White-crested Turaco, which we indeed
found without any problems. Other birds here were Grey Kestrel, Ross`s
Turaco, White-headed Barbet, Double-toothed Barbet, White-shouldered
Cliff Chat, Lesser Blue-eared Starling, Violet-backed Starling, Marico
Sunbird and Cinnamon-breasted Bunting.
Eventually we drove back to Kitale for lunch and to Kakamega Forest
where we checked in at the Rondo Retreat Centre. Nice with some luxury
after two nights in a basic hotel in Kitale.
In the afternoon we had time to tick off some of the specialities of
the forest, that is White-spotted Flufftail, Great Blue Turaco and
Blue-headed Bee-eater, as well as some of the commoner forest species
here as Gabar Goshawk, Black-and-white Casqued Hornbill, Grey-throated
Barbet, Ansorge`s Greenbul, Red-tailed Bristlebill and Grey-headed
Negrofinch.
Wednesday 26th
November
The morning hours were spend in forested area just north of the Ikuywa
bridge. The birding was outstanding and we saw a good deal of the
Kakamega specialities: Great Blue Turaco (magnificent views) and
Ross`s Turaco, Yellow-billed Barbet, Shelley`s Greenbul, Joyful
Greenbul, Blue-shouldered Robin-chat, Uganda Woodland Warbler,
Buff-throated Apalis, White-browed Crombec, Turner`s Eremomela,
Southern Hyliota, Dusky Tit, Common Wattle-eye, African
Shrike-flycatcher, Mackinnon`s Fiscal, Bocage`s Bush-shrike,
Pink-footed Puffback, Western Black-headed Oriole, Stuhlmann`s
Starling, Green-throated Sunbird, Grosbeak Weaver, Black-necked
Weaver, Vieillot`s Black Weaver, Dark-backed Weaver, Red-headed
Malimbe, White-breasted Negrofinch and Red-headed Bluebill. A
junglewalk in the afternoon was much more quiet, but did produce
African Emerald Cuckoo (seen), Yellowbill, Petit`s Cuckoo-shrike and
Equatorial Akalat.
Thursday 27th
November
Good birding in the jungle near the lodge and the forest station
produced Great Sparrowhawk, Yellowbill, Hairy-breasted Barbet,
Brown-eared Woodpecker, Buff-spotted Woodpecker, African Broadbill,
Cabanis`s Greenbul, Brown-chested Alethe, Black-faced Rufous Warbler,
Dusky Crested Flycatcher, Chestnut Wattle-eye, Jameson`s Wattle-eye,
Square-tailed Drongo and White-breasted Negrofinch, as well as many of
the species seen the previous days. Another
area to the east of the lodge produced Red-bellied Paradise Flycatcher
and an African Wood Owl at the lodge in the morning should also be
mentioned. Eventually we headed towards
Kisumu at the shore of Lake Victoria and we checked in at Sunset
hotel. We still had a few hours of daylight so we headed out to Hippo
Point and Dunga Point (near our hotel) and found several of the local
specialities before it got dark: Water Thick-knee, Black-billed
Barbet, Swamp Flycatcher, African Reed Warbler, Red-chested Sunbird,
Slender-billed Weaver, Yellow-backed Weaver and Fan-tailed Widowbird.
Friday 28th
November
Early morning saw us at Dunga Point where we hired two boats to check
the papyrus reeds for the Papyrus Gonolek. Highlights of this boattrip
were 4 Papyrus Gonoleks and 10 African Skimmers, and other birds here
and at Hippo Point later in the morning were Fulvous Whistling Duck,
Blue-headed Coucal, African Palm Swift, Blue-cheeked Bee-eater, Banded
Martin, Greater Swamp Warbler, Winding Cisticola, Marsh Tchagra,
Black-headed Gonolek, Northern Brown-throated Weaver and Papyrus
Canary. We thus had a splendid morning here and the only speciality we
dipped out on was the Carruther`s Cisticola.
After lunch we set out on the long bustrip to Masai Mara (which turned
out to be several hours longer than expected as the driver didn`t know
the way) and in the Game Reserve we checked in at our campsite; by far
the most basic accommodation on this trip. Birds seen en route to
Masai Mara were Bateleur, Tawny Eagle, Kori Bustard, Black-bellied
Bustard, White-bellied Bustard, Yellow-billed Oxpecker and Taita
Fiscal.
At the campsite we heard
a calling African Scops Owl.
Saturday 29th
November
Finally the day dawned that many had been waiting for; a full day
safari in Masai Mara. The turnout was also very good, both bird as
mammal-wise. Of the birds we noted species as Secretary Bird, African
White-backed Vulture, Rüppell`s Griffon Vulture, Lappet-faced Vulture,
White-headed Vulture, Coqui Francolin, Black-bellied Bustard,
White-bellied Bustard, Temminck`s Courser, Bare-faced Go-away-bird,
Rufous-naped Lark, Yellow-throated Longclaw, Rosy-breasted Longclaw,
Rufous-chested Swallow, Sooty Chat, Stout Cisticola, Ashy Cisticola,
Desert Cisticola, Magpie Shrike, White-necked Raven, Vitelline Masked
Weaver and Yellow-fronted Canary. Of mammals
we saw, among more ordinary species, Black-backed Jackal, Oribi,
Banded Mongoose, Spotted Hyena, Lion, Cheetah and African Elephant.
Sunday 30th
November
The morning hours were spend on another safari,
although a short one. Many of the same birds and mammals were seen as
the previous day, but also Hooded Vulture, Dark-chanting Goshawk,
Martial Eagle, Red-necked Spurfowl, Brown Parrot, Striped Kingfisher
and Silverbird. After a late breakfast we
headed towards Nairobi, but naturally with a few stops at
promising-looking places. These stops produced Lesser Spotted Eagle,
Two-banded Courser, Fawn-coloured Lark, Red-capped Lark, Fischer`s
Sparrow-lark, Long-billed Pipit, Capped Wheatear and Desert Cisticola.
In Nairobi we checked in
at the same hotel as two weeks earlier and later four members of the
group were taken to the airport for their flight home while one person
was picked up at the airport.
Extension Week
Monday 1st
December
Our
first site of the day was the Athi Plains, some 30 kms south of
Nairobi, where we arrived somewhat delayed. Although not very good
with birds we saw our target species here, the ssp. athensis of
the Somali Short-toed Lark (Athi Short-toed Lark) as well as
Short-tailed Lark, Fischer`s Sparrow-lark and Pectoral-patch
Cisticola. Then we drove towards the Tsavo West NP, but with a
productive stop at the Mtito Andei Gate. Birds seen at the gate and
the drive to our lodge at dusk included Eastern Pale Chanting Goshawk,
Yellow-necked Spurfowl, Black-and-white Cuckoo, Black Cuckoo, Eurasian
Roller, Horus Swift, Upcher`s Warbler, Grey Wren Warbler and
Green-winged Pytilia.
After checking in at the
Kilaguni Lodge and enjoying an excellent dinner here, we watched the
wildlife at the floodlit waterhole. This was truly excellent; although
we could see a Verreaux`s Eagle Owl a few meters from the lodge and
Slender-tailed Nightjars hunting over the waterhole, the mammals stole
the show this evening. Small, nocturnal and normally shy mammals seen
at very close range here were Common Genet, White-tailed Mongoose,
Egyptian Mongoose and African Civet; all of these apparently used to
the presence of man.
Tuesday 2nd
December
Rather disappointingly we found that it was raining at dawn, but this
actually turned out to be an advantage as it apparently forced a flock
of migrating Amur Falcons down. From our hotelrooms we counted, within
a few minutes, 280+ migrating low past our lodge. Other birds seen
before or during breakfast were Greater Painted Snipe, Southern Ground
Hornbill and Red-billed Buffalo-weaver.
After breakfast we drove to the Mzima Springs and this trip was one of
those wonderful occasions where you have to stop every second minute,
to check out some entirely new birds. Birds seen en route to, or at
the Mzima Springs were Eastern Pale Chanting Goshawk, Martial Eagle,
Pygmy Falcon, Great Spotted Cuckoo, Giant Kingfisher, Red-winged Lark,
Pink-breasted Lark, Pangani Longclaw, Rufous Bush Chat, Tiny
Cisticola, Rosy-patched Bush-shrike, Golden-breasted Starling,
Black-bellied Sunbird, Black-capped Social Weaver and African Golden
Weaver. The Black-bellied Sunbird was our target species at the
springs, but eventually the Golden-breasted Starlings turned out to be
everyone`s favourite; what magnificent birds!
Early
afternoon we drove to Watamu at the coast and the only noteworthy
thing that happened was the sighting of a Vulturine Guineafowl from
the bus.
Wednesday 3rd
December
This morning we planned to be at the Sabaki River, but it was already
9 a.m. before we started on the 3 km walk down to the river-mouth.
Already at this time it was very hot, and when we got back to our
busses three hours later it was nearly 40° C; all of us were nacked
and this was definitely the hardest birding on the trip. We did see
some good birds though: Dimorphic Egret, Black-chested Snake Eagle,
Water Thick-knee, White-fronted Plover, Lesser Sand Plover, Greater
Sand Plover, Terek Sandpiper, Lesser Crested Tern, Saunder`s Tern,
Yellowbill, Zanzibar Sombre Greenbul, Grosbeak Weaver and Zanzibar Red
Bishop. After a few hours rest in Malindi we
made a short stop at the beach and at the Vasco de Gama Point and
recorded Sooty Gull, Heuglin`s Gull, Mottled Spinetail and Ethiopian
Swallow.
Our last stop of the day
was the Mida Creek near Watamu, where we managed to see our target
bird, the Crab Plover, as well as Carmine Bee-eater and Black-bellied
Starling. Very few waders where identified as the tide was low and the
birds very far away.
Thursday 4th
December
In the morning we met up with Albert, our local guide, and finally we
could bird the famous Sokoke Forest. And excellent it was, within a
few hours we had seen many of the specialities: Lizard Buzzard, Narina
Trogon, Trumpeter Hornbill, Green Barbet, Mombasa Woodpecker,
Yellow-bellied Greenbul, Red-tailed Ant Thrush, Eastern Bearded Scrub
Robin, Forest Batis, Retz`s Helmet-shrike, Chestnut-fronted
Helmet-shrike, Eastern Nicator, Black-bellied Starling, Amani Sunbird
and Peter`s Twinspot. The afternoon we spend
at the Gedi Ruins which is an impressive cultural sight, but was quiet
with birds. We did find some goodies, though: breeding Palm-nut
Vulture, breeding Barn Owl and Silvery-cheeked Hornbill.
As we
failed to find the Sokoke Scops Owl in the morning we went back to the
forest with Albert at dusk. Now the owls responded quikly when we
played its call, and after a few minutes search in the bush we found 2
adults and 2 juv. and could study them well with the help of
flashlights. Fiery-necked Nightjars seen on
the road and Four-toed Elephant-shrews running over it were added
bonuses this night.
Friday 5th
December
At dawn we ventured back into the forest and we
spend the whole morning here, trying to find the birds we dipped out
on the previous day. We were quite succesful as we recorded Crested
Guinafowl, Fischer`s Turaco, Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird, Sokoke Pipit,
Tiny Greenbul, Black-headed Apalis, Little Yellow Flycatcher, African
Golden Oriole, Plain-backed Sunbird and Clarke`s Weaver.
Pretty good although we only had very poor views of
the two most important birds; the Pipit and the Weaver.
A
short stop at Mida Creek after we had packed our things and checked
out of our guesthouse in Watamu didn`t produce much more than
Purple-banded Sunbird. Then we drove all the way to Voi, where we
stayed overnight.
Saturday 6th
December
This morning the group split in two: one small group drove up to the
Taita Hills to try to find the three endemic forms that occur here.
After parking near Wundanyi they checked a forested hill, and
eventually found all three species: Montane White-eye (Taita
White-eye), Taita Thrush and Bar-throated Apalis (Taita Apalis),
although the thrush was seen by only one. Other good birds here were
Hartlaub`s Turaco, Stripe-cheeked Greenbul, White-starred Robin and
Evergreen Forest Warbler. How succesful this
was, it hardly impressed the other group that spend the morning at
Ndala Ranch, near Voi. They experienced some outstanding birding here
and among other birds they saw were Ayres`s Hawk-eagle, Orange-bellied
Parrot, Spotted Eagle Owl, Bare-eyed Thrush, Scaly Chatterer,
Three-streaked Tchagra, Pin-tailed Whydah, Paradise Whydah, Steel-blue
Whydah, Straw-tailed Whydah and Common Indigobird. Most of the Whydahs
were actually sitting in one bush!
After lunch we then set course to Nairobi and we noted White-bellied
Bustard, Rufous-crowned Roller and Broad-billed Roller from the bus.
After a shower and dinner at a hotel in Nairobi we were taken to the
airport for our flight home.
As a
very brief concluding remark we note that during the two first weeks
of the trip we recorded a total of 506 species of bird. On the
extention week we noted a further 99 species so the total for this
trip ended on 605 species. It should also be noted that we saw 49
mammalian species (that were specifically identified) during these
three weeks, several of which are rather shy and hard-to-see animals.
This must be considered a very good result for a birdwatching trip
like this one, even if we did encounter occasional problems (like the
jeeps at Mt. Kenya). What the highlights of these birds were I leave
up to everyone to decide for themselves, but strong candidates might
be Martial Eagle, African Skimmer, any of the Turacos, Blue-headed or
Carmine Bee-eater, Double-toothed Barbet, African Broadbill, Papyrus
Gonolek, Abbott`s Starling or Golden-breasted Starling (just to make
it a short list).
On a trip like this it
is unavoidable, however, that we miss out on some birds. Of the common
Kenyan species our most obvious omission was maybe Kittlitz`s Plover,
but some other birds that eluded us were Hemprich`s Hornbill,
Black-winged Plover, Greater Crested Tern, Grey-rumped Swallow,
African Hill Babbler, Carruther`s Cisticola, Yellow-bellied
Wattle-eye, Black-crowned Tchagra, Chestnut Sparrow, Jackson`s
Golden-backed Weaver and most of the Widowbirds. For surely we will
see these on a later occasion!?
On a final note I would
like to thank all of the participants for making this a truly
memorable trip. Thank you!
