The Arabuko-Sokoke forest was at its absolute best for the walk yesterday morning. After a few wet days the sun shone and we saw over 30 bird species starting with a pair of palm nut vultures.
We even had a visitor from Moscow, Svetlana Elkina who is volunteering at Watamu Turtle Watch. She joined friend of the forest Daniela Malanchini, chairman of the friends Ole Kina, Lynn Njeri KWS researcher, Sammy Safari, Kalama Ali from Nature Kenya and others for this sparkling occasion.
