Subject: Alpine swifts in Dakatcha

Exciting start to a survey to search for Clarke’s Weaver:
 
Some 150 Alpine Swifts circling around the Safaricom tower at Marafa in Dakatcha Woodland, Magarini District. They were calling and seemed to be investigating it as a nesting site; but surely a telephone tower does not provide nesting sites? I can still hear them calling from the Nature Kenya office in Marafa.
 
Wishing you good birding, Fleur
