Don't know if this is the ILRI pair, but there's been a pair regular in the last few weeks near an area of reedbeds next to the coffee just past the end of Loresho Ridge (towards vet college gate).

Dear Itai

 

That is interesting,  because they seem to remain reasonably common in Nairobi. Several pairs still  in the National park and also a pair bred close to ILRI. The two chicks were regularly to be seen together with parents earlier this year.

Dear Friends,

 

Grey Crowned Cranes have now been officially uplisted from VU to EN which means that 50% of the world population is expected to be extinct in the next 10 years!

 

Please be aware of these birds where ever you see them and try to send records with counts, localities and conservation threats to the list for follow up.

 

Itai

 

I'de rather go birding...

Hi

 

Grey Crowned Cranes have now been officially uplisted globally from Vulnerable to Endangered on the IUCN Red Data List.  See the new Grey Crowned Crane factsheet at BirdLife international: http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=2785, and a list of the 2012 status changes: http://www.birdlife.org/action/science/species/global_species_programme/whats_new.html.  

 

Kind regards

Kerryn
