Just heard from Marc that it's raining every day in Arusha, are the farmers ploughing ?
 
what about other areas "up north"
 
esp the Mbulu Highlands and the Natron catchment.
 
Marian .. Singida ?
 
early rains could signal an early breeding season for waterbirds and they will attract Palearctic migrants wanting invertebrate food from the first flush of rain so if the Masai Steppe / Mkomazi is still dry the early migrants might move SW following the clouds.
