Very nice pictures. But question - I was in Kenia & Tanzania (Ngorongoro Crater) last year. Made a picture of a to me yet unknown bird. Would you be so kind to have a look, please ? I can e-mail the picture.

Erg leuk om nu de Kenia-albums van andere door te lopen. Nu ik er zelf ben geweest leeft het allemaal meer. Veel overeenkomsten en toch ook grote verschillen. Alles bij elkaar een mooie verzameling. Ik denk er sterk over nog een keer terug te gaan!
