Manguo Ponds
May Day greetings
The holiday was a good opportunity for Nature Kenya's Wednesday morning birdwalk to drive up to Manguo Pond in Limuru. The water was expansive, and although migrants had left, there were many birds.
Highlights included:
Maccoa Duck (at least one male)
About 60 White-backed Ducks, including small ducklings
Fulvous Whistling Ducks allowing close approach
More than 12 Purple Swamphen, with brown juveniles and larger immatures
Red-knobbed Coots nesting (and large juveniles)
African Jacana with young
Whiskered Terns apparently nesting
Wishing you good birding, Fleur
