Hi birders,

Last Monday morning while seated at our upcountry home (00 10’12.73’’N, 34029’40.75E at 4237ft ASL) in Butere, Kakamega County, I saw more than 80 Abdim's storks flying overhead.

Upon talking to my neighbours, they said that this is a spectacle they observe almost every day in the last few days especially in the morning hours.  Has anyone been to western Kenya recently and seen such huge flocks flying south?
