East Africa – Week 5
Uganda 16 August 2015 to 22 August 2015
I have not been able to upload photographs to my blog without wifi or decent band width but will add my photographs to my blog post as soon as I can.
The highlight of our fifth week, in Kenya, was seeing the Red-throated Tit at Swara Plains, my 4000th bird species. It felt great as I’d done some tough birding over the last couple of years to see these birds.

This is my story; a journey defined by my love for these extraordinary creatures. Because large or small, brown, patterned or jewelled, there is something about birds that makes us, even for just moments at a time, lift our eyes away from our lives and up to the skies.
