Hi Adam,
That's really weird, I heard from Steven Easley that twelve were seen
passing with Honey Buzzards in the Kerio at the same period seen by
David Wolfe from Vent!
Ahero Rice fields is exactly where David Fisher and Edwin Selempo had
about twenty a few Januarys ago. Will look forward to the images.
Best for now
Brian
PS get over to the grasslands, Oloololo Gate as far as Serena, the
Black-backed Cisticolas are on show again! About twenty Rufous-bellied
Herons are about to nest in the Little Governors swamp.
