~ Adamson's Falls on the Tana River passes through a rocky cataract of water-sculpted sedimentary rock. Swallows flew back and forth over the frothing torrent despite the hot midday temperatures. It wasn't possible to approach the falls but the sound was loud at a distance. Once the Tana flow commenced after the falls it became a placid river with scarcely a ripple. What do animals think when they approach the Tana for a drink? Does the characteristic sound of a waterfall trigger any response in them, or is it more or less ‘white noise’ to be ignored?
