Secretary Bird
These tall birds of prey are unlike any other! They look like pretty storks, but dont let their looks deceive you. These highly intelligent hunters walk around the grasslands searching for snakes, lizards, and rodents. They then chase after their prey stomping on them with their powerful feet...- the_kenyanbirder

Lappet-faced Vulture. The king of vultures, showing who's boss at this carcass. This picture was taken at Maasai Mara. Unfortunately, vultures in Kenya are at the risk of critical endangerment.

Malachite Sunbird
Sunbirds are small nectar feeders with bright colors and iridescent feathers, and the malachite sunbird certainly lives up to its name. Their bright green iridescent feathers give good camouflage in the lush alpine grasslands of Kenya, but they are easily spotted when visiting the white flowers...- the_kenyanbirder

Northern Carmine Bee-eater
Carmine bee-eaters are the largest of their kind in Africa, and they are absolutely lovely! These bee-eaters are Afro-tropical migrants with some of them being resident in Kenya. They usually nest in colonies, excavating horizontal tunnels on steep river banks to keep them safe from predators.- the_kenyanbirder

Lilac-breasted Roller
The lilac-breasted roller is an exquisitely colourful bird; many believe its even the most photographed bird in Kenya. What makes these birds unique is their capability to make a somersault in mid-flight, which is why they are called rollers. Fun fact: It is "unofficially" considered the...- the_kenyanbirder
