Abyssinian Longclaw One of the Ethiopian endemics, this one seen on the Sulutu Plain, north of Addis Ababa "en route" to Debre Libanos.  It was wonderful to see this endemic early in our trip although unfortunately, this was our only move north of Addis Ababa as our planned trip was changed as we followed FCO and our local travel company's advice about safety and so returned from Debre Libanos to Addis the next day.
