    Kenya - Nov/Dec 2013

    I thought I would detail the highlights [and lowlights] of our recent trip even though I will prepare a more detailed report for consumption elsewhere. We had a really good trip overall but it proved to be a nightmare for one of the chaps. Read on for the gory details. 25/26 Nov Four of us -...

    KENYA -August/September [Final Part]

    27 August We spent Friday 27th doing very little, catching up with a few of the staff at the Hotel. It's a great place for families. Ironically, it's not very good for birds. A few waders on the beach, the occasional Osprey and Fish Eagle, plus nesting Golden Palm Weavers and African Golden...

    KENYA - August/September [ Part 2]

    25 August White-Browed Sparrow Weavers took over the early morning call at Sagala Lodge so I got up and had a look around the grounds at about 7am. I think it's fair to say that we were starting to feel the pace and Lorraine and Phil were in no hurry to move today! There were good numbers of...

    KENYA - August/September

The vehicle stops for birds!! If you...

    Costa Blanca in February

    Got back on Tuesday from a few days in an area called La Marina Urbanizationes [about 20 minutes drive South of Alicante airport]. Wet, cold and windy for 2 days but sunshine for the other two . What a difference the sun makes to birding. We stayed in an apartment on this massive estate and...
