Hi Fleur and all,
Interesting that there are no southern palearctic migrants yet, like
Red-backed Shrike, Olive Tree Warbler etc., so far all birds that
could have wintered in Kenya, (maybe apart from the two Semi-collared
Flycatcher records).They must be coming soon, and it seems the Mara is
also experiencing the same, apart from Lesser Spotted Eagle passage
and the odd Hobby.
Best for now
Brian
