Chestnut-banded Plovers at Eyasi

just came back from the lake shore and counted 79 Chestnut-banded Plovers along 350m of shore line, most of them concentrated on a 150m stretch where a little river flowed into the lake coming from our land.
Flamingos slowly coming in as are lots of waders.

Also have had quite a few Greater Reed Warblers around.

Best,
Chris

yes, this rain will change the dynamics considerably.

79 chestnuts in only 350m of shoreline is excellent data. It will be really interesting to hear how many are at Natron and Manyara.

really hope u can count several km of lake shore, at least 5k either side of you please. have u anyone lined up to help u with this count ?

Great Reed Warblers in dense wet vegetation ? what habitat exactly ? are they very noisy ?

great stuff and many thanks

Neil
