From the archives- Kenya 2006

Still going through old photos and updating my world list. Found a load of other photos that are too good to be hiding on my hard drive so here are some of my favourite photos from a trip to Kenya in 2006. Trip report on Surfbirds HERE. All my trip reports can be found by scrolling down on My Publications page HERE. All the trips since 2008 have featured on this blog already but there were several mega trips I did before then so I'll do some retrospective blog posts over the next few weeks. 

Loads of mammals from Kenya too so will do a separate post on them. Here's the birds. 

All the photos were digiscoped. Something quite magic about digiscoped photos.
