I was in Kenya for a 3 weeks holiday visited my family and friends. I did some birding, but not so much. Most of my birding was in and around Nariobi. On Sunday 17th Oct, i joined a birding group from Nature Kenya where we went to Lukenya, which is on the west side of the city along the Nairobi - Mombasa highway.
