Species List for Central Kenya and Northern Tanzania,

Gruff Dodd

The letter 'h' denotes that the bird was heard but not seen.

Many of the species below were certainly under-recorded.  You will, for example, see hundreds of doves, everywhere, every day.  Having seen all the likely species previously, the thought of trying to identify every one I saw really didn't appeal, so I satisfied myself with confirming at least one of each for the trip, and then ignored them.  The same is true for the fiscal-type shrikes, which we also saw in big numbers every day.  New possibilities e.g. Taita Fiscal at Amboseli created an initial flurry of enthusiasm, followed by subsequent apathy.

The fact is that there are just too many birds, not to mention mammals, scenery etc to look at in a place as superb as Kenya / Tanzania, so it's a matter of deciding on your priorities, and dove identification was way down my list!
