Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

We got very lucky to see this species on 2 occasions during the Kenya trip. The first was here in Aberdare National Park as we climbed the mountainside in a 4x4.

Sometimes you spot something in the bird world that makes you do a double take and question if it's real. Seeing this flycatcher made for one of those instances. Naro Moru at Mount Kenya.
