Dear all,

see Martin Odino's original e-mail and photos below.

this record, once submitted and approved (which won't be a problem at all...) would be the first confirm record for the species in Kenya.

well done Martin and hope that these birds will stay for a while.

Dear BC et al,

I believe you are all well.I need your counsel on the identity of the attached images.
I took the photos of the 2 individuals today from Sio Port Swamp (KE IBA 60). The subjects were perched aloof from the rest of the weavers (Village and Yellow-backed, mostly) that were feeding on the cultivated millet and grass-weed seeds (i guess) in a mixed cropped piece of land bordering the swamp.

Regards

Martin
