Tsavo

Just back from Tsavo Eas. My main task was finding lions and elephants etc for my young grandson but I did manage to see some birds. Lots of migrants especially Harriers, Montague and Pallid. They were busy hunting over the lush grasslands around Satao camp. I'm afraid the immature and the females defeated me for definite ID as I was never able to see them for long enough. Lots of Eurasian Rollers and Spotted flycatchers. Large number of yellow wagtails at Aruba Dam. Hundreds of White Storks both on the dam at Satao and spread over all the grasslands. A pair of Eurasian Black Storks at Satao dam, one adult and one juvenile

A good sight was a group of vultures feeding on an old carcase - 6 White-backed, 2 Lappet-faced and 1 Egyptian vulture. Egyptian was being harassed by the others who did not tolerate it feeding on the carcase. It had one or two attempts and then retired to a nearby tree. Was nice to see one as I haven't seen one for ages.
