Subject: Marsh Owls in the Mara

Dear all,
I have been criss crossing the area around Mara intrepid camp and look-out hill for the last ten days, this morning 14th September  I came across a rather astonishing surprise! Nine marsh owls! all in an area, about the size of a football field. I didn’t know this species to be gregarious or common in the Masai Mara
. Or could they have caught the migration fever?

 I could not spend more time there to see if there were more of this birds on this plain but I could not as a Rhino got called up on the radio, later visits to the same area were fruitless, they must have just vanished just like they appeared

Great birding
Selempo
