Good Luck on that :-) Are there good guide books for that region?
I ran out of time when I was uploading, so I gave up googling... and I need a new guide book before we go again.
Most welcome :) It was a lucky guess. Googled for Plovers in Kenya and got this neat Lapwing instead ;)
Thank you so much! I'm pretty sure you're right
I would wait for another confirmation of the species, but I think that's what it is :) Nice find!
