We made no bird-watching effort on our Kenya trip, but we saw many interesting creatures and were able to capture some of them on film, some very close, some far away. Our Olympus E-PM2 with 40-150 zoom was ok, most of the time. We are learning who they are: ☞ birds of Africa and ☞ birds of Kenya on Wikipedia are good resources. So far we have names for 60 of them.
