There are many wonderful birds to see along the coast. Some of them are specialist birds and Jonathan will know which sites to visit. The photgraphs on this page were taken by "Rainbirder" on a visit to this part of Kenya [hover to view the caption, naming the bird]. Many thanks to him for allowing us to use them. In particular, birders will wish to visit Sabaki River Mouth for Crab Plover, Terek Sandpiper and hundreds, if not thousands, of other waders, Terns and Gulls. Between June and the end of August, this is a reliable site for Madagascar Pratincole.
Safaris to Tsavo will enable birders to see all kinds of birds. Visits to Tsavo East and West should enable a birder to see 150 to 200 species in 3/4 days. Recently, a group of birders saw 312 species in 2 weeks, mainly birding in Tsavo and at the Coast. They also visited Shimba Hills, which will have added a few to their list but not a substantial number.
