Most reports are from people staying at the Turtle Bay Beach Hotel & they mention a "bird walk" outside the hotel. We will be staying at Watamu Beach Hotel, as it is considerably cheaper. As well as a couple of organised trips, Iam hoping to do a bit/lot of birding in & around the hotel area & wanted to try & get a bit more info on the area in & outside the Hotel. I don't know if the Watamu Beach Hotel is near to the Turtle Bay Hotel? Or if there are any good areas within walking distance worth heading for.Perhaps someone has stayed at the Watamu Beach Hotel & has some advice? I have found it difficult to get a detailed map of the coastal area, it could be that the hotels are close together or miles apart. Does anyone have any info to help or know of any internet sites where I could find out more info on the coastal strip?   I have attached a copy of the best map I could find! Any help or advice is appreciated. Many thanks  Mark</blockquote>
