Vipingo Ridge

Another trip up to Vipingo Ridge in the early morning last week, where we spent all our time wandering in the extensive bush land. Species of note; African Goshawk, Scaly Babblers, Red Tailed and Red Backed Shrike (Red-tailed more numerous, mostly Isabelline) lots of Eurasian Golden Orioles, Crested Eagle flying over, Eurasian Marsh Harrier, Carmine Bee-Eaters which would seem to be around Mombasa just now, Spotted Flycatchers, and in the garden during our late breakfast, Pallid HoneyGuide and Brown Hooded Kingfisher. We are trying to take full advantage of this wild area before it become developed and are sincerely hoping that there will be a fairly large area of bush left for posterity.
