One of the birds I most wanted to see in Kenya, we spotted a group of at least 40 birds within an hour of entering the park, by pure luck as we had stopped to look at something else, and suddenly my sister spotted them resting in the shade. Very lucky indeed, as we never saw them again! Posted 2 years ago

  Did not know you have a sister, but it seems some things run in the family. Posted 2 years ago
