Langata Nature Centre, Nairobi, Kenya
Klaas’ Cuckoo
All told, I spent the entire day in the sanctuary (much to the amazement of the staff when I finally emerged after seven hours), wandering around the trails and sitting out the hottest part of the day in the shade in the forest.

If I’d had access to a car, or had been birding with someone else, I imagine I’d have only spent a few hours here before hurrying on to the next stop - probably the Nairobi National Park - but I’d have missed out on the peace and quiet of the place and not had the kind of views I had of some usually less visible species… |
