Subject: Hinde's Babbler at Tana River bridge
Greetings birders
Six noisy Hinde's Babblers at the Tana River bridge were the
highlight of a most enjoyable Saturday outing organized by Catherine
Ngarachu of Nature Kenya. Workmen were cutting the lantana bushes
favoured by the Hinde's Babblers between the main road and the access
road to the Tana power station, but suitable bushy habitat remained
on the hillside.
Later, next to Savage Wilderness white-water rafting site, we heard
some kind of babblers calling from scrub and lantana bushes, but were
unable to see them.
Other nice birds at the Tana River bridge included four kingfishers –
Giant, Pied, Pygmy and Grey-headed – Rufous Chatterers and an
immature African Moustached Warbler.
Wishing you good birding,
Fleur
