Bird ringing at Ngulia Safari Lodge, Kenya (1 Viewer)

I haven't posted for quite a while. But here's a recap of the birds we ringed at Ngulia. This was quite a unique year where we were a mostly all Kenyan crew at Ngulia. Some really interesting resident species were ringed and also a good number of Paleartic migrants. The highlights during the first week were:

• We ringed 31 nightjars on the first night!
• 3 species of wheatears and 3 species of tchagras ringed in one day!
• Green-backed Twinspot and Southern Grosbeak canary were an interesting record for most of us.
• Ringed 4 species of hornbills, and I got to tackle 2 of them!!
  

All in all, a great week at Ngulia!!

Really cool post. I've been to Kenya once, so seeing longclaws and helmetshrikes in the hand is pretty neat!
