~ While watching Pseuonigrita cabanisi popping into and out of their suspended nests — as shown in one image — it was apparent that another species lived alongside them. It was Passer eminibey, Chestnut Sparrow, which flitted around both taller trees and more moderately-sized bushes. Described as being the smallest sparrow species, the rich colors of Passer eminibey were enhanced by morning sunlight. It was my first sighting of this species, yet another Samburu Sopa Lodge surprise!
