Subject: Woodchat Shrike at Lake Naivasha
Dear all!
While preparing for the waterbird counts at Lakes Naivasha and Elmenteita
last weekend, on Friday afternoon, we found a Woodchat Shrike on the
lakeshore near KWS Hippo Camp (annex to KWSTI). It was still present in the
same area on Sunday.
The camp is signposted off the old Naivasha road, near town; a track leads
to the lakeshore but you'll need to pay KSh 100 for entering at the KWS
buildings. Walk to your right from the track end, where the bird was
perching on thistles at 2-300 m from the track. This is a great birding area
in general (Black Herons, Water Thickknees were present as well; the counts
produced a Black-headed Gull at Crescent Island).
Good birding!
Bernd de Bruijn
