Hello All,

Further to Brian's remarks re NNP 13 November:

an African Penduline-Tit. My first in the Park, but there is a historical Van Someren record from about forty years ago.

I ringed and photographed one Grey Penduline Tit (formerly African Penduline Tit!) at the KMC Athi River pools 3 km east of NNP on 13 April 1971. Jackson (1938) also records it from Athi River and Harvey (1997) lists it for the park itself as Rare, but gives no details.

Cheers,

Graeme
