INTRODUCTION

As I was part of a Ghent University research project (effects of habitat fragmentation on tropical forest bird communities), I had to do some field work in Kenya. This trip was therefore not a real bird trip, but I had some the opportunities to do some birding. Our research area is situated in the Taita Hills, in the southeast of the country. We only did some serious birding in Tsavo West National Park (2days), Nairobi National Park (2days) and some less serious birding during our fieldwork period in the Taita Hills and around the National Museum of Kenya in Nairobi.

Thanks are due to Luc Lens in the first place for sending me there to work and also for some useful birding tips. Diederik D’Hert and Simon Feys helped me with some bird sounds.

VISITED SITES


Taita Hills

The Taita Hills are part of the Eastern Arc Mountains which are shared with Tanzania. The hills are known for their moist forests with a unique fauna and flora. The forested hills are home to 3 distinctive and endemic subspecies which are often treated as full species by several authors: Taita (Olive) Thrush, Taita (Bar-throated) Apalis and Taita (Broad-ringed) White-eye.

Guides: Only few independent birders go to the Taita Hills, probably beacause of logistic reasons. Hereby I could propose a solution as one of our local field assistants might be the best option for guiding you around and/or arranging transport. He's keen on birding and speaks English well (and some basic Dutch also). He lives in Wundanyi but as he is working on our project he might not be available though...
