The following records from the Masai Mara may be of interest.

White Storks 150 + Dec’ 4^th. Interestingly most appeared to be immature.

Abdim’s Stork 1 Dec’ 4^th. Their numbers seem to be decreasing every year, but only 1 seen this year! I wonder if this is the situation in the Serengeti?

White-headed Vulture 1, the first for a long time Nov’ 28^th. Maybe just a coincidence but this bird was sitting in a tree very close to where White-headed Vultures nested for years. Unfortunately this tree fell down during a storm

Vultures numbers were good. Lappet-faced, Ruppell’s, White-backed and Hooded were all seen regularly.

Common Buzzards several in residence from early November onwards.

Amur Falcons 2 immature on Dec 4^th

Common Kestrels seen daily from early November onwards.

White-fronted Bee-eater 1 Dec’8^th.

Eurasian Roller 1 immature Dec’ 4^th

Both Northern and Isabelline Wheatears resident during November and December.
