Mombasa Bird Walk

All the migrants seem to have disappeared but decided to go up to Husein land to see if we could find one or two late leavers. Just a few waders on one of the ponds, a couple of Common Sandpipers, a lone Greenshank and what was probably a Wood Sandpiper but no positive id due to approaching dark. Our favourite pond almost completely deserted except for Common Moorhen with several chicks which was wonderful and a Three Banded Plover. Everything so dry. On the grassland 2 Greater Blue Earred Starling, Yellow Throated Longclaw and Long Tailed Fiscal who seem to thrive in dry conditions. About a dozen other common species including a magnificent pair of Malachite Kingfishers on the pond on the road home. Keep birding. Marlene Reid (Mombasa)
