Hi All,

Having received a copy of Brian Finch's first edition of the Masai
Mara checklist, I'm still left with a few doubts about a few species
on my working Mara list as we cannot seem to find a copy of the latest
(4th) edition anywhere. Can anyone tell me if there are any confirmed
records of the following species in the Mara and it's neighbouring
conservancies?

African Pygmy Goose
Cape Teal
Southern Pochard
Lesser Flamingo
Great Cormorant
Saker Falcon
Greater Spotted Eagle
Buff-crested Bustard
Stone Curlew
Lesser Jacana
Black-tailed Godwit
Whiskered Tern (surely ...?)
Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse
Lovebird sp., (including hybrids)
Cape (Mackinder's) Eagle Owl
Freckled Nightjar
Brown-backed Woodpecker
Black-fronted Bushshrike
Woodchat Shrike
Cape Rook
Singing Bush Lark
Chestnut-backed Sparrow Lark
Wailing Cisticola
Common Chiffchaff
Barred Warbler
Northern Pied Babbler
Golden-backed Weaver
Chestnut Weaver
Red-headed Quelea
Yellow-crowned Bishop
Blue-capped Cordon-bleu
Eastern Paradise Whydah
Steel-blue Whydah

Many thanks indeed,
