~ While waiting for Anthony to begin the morning game drive, I strolled around the grounds of the Samburu Sopa Lodge. As ever, a rich variety of avian species were present, several of which I'd never seen before nor since. Spreo fischeri, Fischer's Starling and the migratory visitor, Sylvia nisoria, Barred Warbler, were entirely unfamiliar to me. That they would be observed this once and never again suggests the need to regularly observe all birds in the lodge environs as otherwise one may never be sure whether or not an unfamiliar species might be present.
