Re: [KENYABIRDSNET] Pacific Golden-Plover photos
Hello Clive
In February 2010 we saw a flock of over 150 at Lake Mbililo in the Delta. In January 2014 we estimated between 50 and 100.
In 2015 we went there in March and they had already left; and I have not been back since then.
Good birding, Fleur

Most definitely Caspian.
Fleur, are there really large flocks of Pacific Golden Plovers in Tana River Delta?

Dear all
In the Tana River Delta, large flocks of both Caspian Plovers and Pacific Golden Plovers gather on the mudflats of the river’s edge.
Good birding, Fleur

Dear All,
I agree this is a Caspian and not a PGP. Whilst it is very unusual on
a tideline, it is regular on grassy areas on the coast such as
Gongoni,
Best for now
