Dear
All,
My
name is Stratton Hatfield and I am 18 and live in the Tigoni
area. This is my first post so I hope it works.
This
morning (November 29th) I went birding in an isolated indigenous
forest patch near Limuru. It’s a very small
patch and the first time I had ever been there. I birded here alongside Mark
Nicholson for about Two hours. Highlights were a single Black-Fronted
Bush-Shrike, a pair of Evergreen Forest Warblers that showed very well, and a
Black-throated Wattle-eye. The only migrants recorded were a pair of
black-caps, a few willow warblers and a flock of European Bee-eaters.
Considering the size of the forest I was very surprised at the numbers of
White-starred Robins. We probably saw between 5 and 10 scattered around and at
one point had three in one view. Greenbuls were also
very well represented with a plethora of Yellow whiskered, a few Cabanis and a single Mountain. Montane
Orioles and Brown-woodland warblers were also calling in the area.
On
arriving home I also had two adult Cuckoo-Hawks and one juvenile flying around
the garden.
If
you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Good
Birding,
Stratton
