    Cisticola 2 - Rattling and... Kenya/Bogoria

    Its a Singing cisticola, you can see the rufous on the wings and a tinge on the head.Hunters would be out of range in Bogoria and it never has the rufous on the wings.B (:

    Lake Bogoria is quite a bird paradise and the area around the campsite just outside the main gate is very birdful. There is a Checklist of birds of Lake Bogoria at Nature Kenya offices. Long tailed night jar is quite common and that is it range-i would suggest you also use the Birds of East...

    Devastating floods destroy 6 tourist lodges in Kenya’s Samburu National Park

    This is what happens when the industry is driven by greed.What else did they expect when they put structures along rivers not to mention pollution.All hotels that are away from the River banks are safe.Eco-tourism should be more practical than just a concept. "Nature protects and rewards"

    birds from Kenya

    I have had spekes with this kind of dark eyes. Then let us do the elimination method, what else could resemble this in Nairobi?? Black headed/Village weaver right, even in non breeding plumage they show reddish brown eyes, Chestnut weaver would have different plumage.Am left with Only Spekes.

    birds from Kenya

    I don't get what you mean on "and there is no non-breeding plumage for this bird". Definitely there is, and that is exactly what we have, all i know is that it is kind of hard to distinguish the male from the female.
