Dear Birders,
I have been in Nairobi for 18 months and with the aid of 4 texts I can usually identify most of what I see. Some things puzzle me though and I'd be very grateful for help in identifying half a dozen pictures. In most cases I have it down to one of two in my own mind but for various reasons the books don't help. "lighter than..." isn't obvious unless you have seen both!
The pics are at http://picasaweb. google.co. uk/townfurze under the title Mystery Birds.
I'm sure some of you will wonder what the mystery is, and I look forward to your help.

Best wishes,
David
