African Darters have made a big comeback in central Kenya.

On the 2018 and 2019 waterbird counts, we counted hundreds of African Darters on Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. They nested in the flooded trees.

About a dozen African Darters nest regularly in Nairobi National Park, and darters are often seen on other small Nairobi wetlands. 

Wishing you good birding, Fleur

For over a week now the Safari Guides from Loldai House who visit Lake Nakuru several times a week have been reporting lots of African Darters. One Guide estimated that there was over 100! Dave Richards.
