I was woken up by this Variable Sunbird (male of course) fighting with himself in my bedroom window…..
And at Main Gate, my guest Jess & I got caught up in the early morning circus: 2 male lions rubbing themselves in a buffalo pat!
The 2 males: looking thin: c’mon guys, you are supposed to be Super Predators & the Park is full of Prey!
A Blacksmith plover….
Kanga……Guinea-fowl have done well this year, with many grown chicks evident….
Chandler’s Mountain reedbuck in the Sosian valley….
A Yellowneck spurfowl with a runny beak….
And 2 African spoonbills………spoooning…….
Athi Dam megacroc getting some dirty looks…..
Lone bushbuck……(called Abu Naba in Arabic…any Arabic speakers out there?)
As Jess said “wall-to-wall” zebras in the Athi Basin, where wildlike is concentrated at present….
Upupa epops, the African hoopoe…what a lovely bird!
And to end a splendid day in the incomparable NNP: a monitor lizard at Nangolomon Dam (it should be Narok Omom): “Black Head” in Maa, referring to the Langata forest…..
