Kenya has the second highest bird list of any African country being only about 20 less than the Democratic Republic of Congo -a country four times its size (and perilously dangerous to visit!).
There are six endemic species (including the disputed Tana River Cisticola)and a much larger number of near endemics.

This gallery contains sub-galleries divided into geographical areas roughly centred on the National Parks and Reserves. Each has its own topography, climate and characteristic vegetation which in turn dictates its avifauna.
