SURPRISE AT LAKE BOGORIA
AFTER MANY YEARS OF ABSENCE, LIONS ARE BACK AT LAKE BOGORIA NATIONAL RESERVE
WHILE PHOTOGRAPHING FLAMINGOS EARLY IN THE MORNING AT THE FAMOUS HOT SPRINGS OF LAKE BOGORIA, WE CAME ACROSS OF THE UNMISTAKABLE FRESH PRINTS OF TWO LIONS.
HIDING IN THE BUSH FROM THE CROWD OF LOCAL TURIST DURING THE DAY, THEY ARE CERTAIN ROAMING THE SHORE AT NIGHT.
UPDATE FROM THE NEST
GOOD NEWS ABOUT THE CHICK. I MET HIM FLYING LOW ON THE GRASS PLAIN, NOT FAR AWAY FROM THE NEST SITE. HE IS LOOKING STRONG AND POWERFULL. BEAUTIFUL IN HIS WHITE PLUMAGE.
FOR ME A VERY EMOTIONAL ENCOUNTER.
ANNULAR ECLIPSE IN KENYA
A MAGNIFICENT ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE WAS THIS MORNING VISIBLE AT 8,30 AM.
THE SKY OF NAIROBI WAS CLOUDY, BUT SUDDENLY IT CLEARED, MAKING US THIS BEAUTIFUL PRESENT.
WILD DOGS AGAIN
LESS THEN A MOUNT AFTER THE EXCEPTIONAL ENCOUNTER IN BOGORIA, WE MET A LARGE PACK OF WILD DOGS IN TSAVO WEST. VERY QUIET AND CONFIDENT, THEY SHARED THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH US. THE BEST WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE NEST
THANKS TO THIS PICTURE TAKEN BY A FRIEND OF MINE IMRAN RATTANSI TWO DAYS AGO, WE CAN SEE THAT THE CHICK IS SUCCESFULLY HUNTING BY HIMSELF. GREAT SIGN OF INDEPENDENCE FROM HIS PARENTS.
EXCEPTIONAL ENCOUNTER AT BOGORIA NATIONAL PARK
THE UNASPECTED!
Early in the morning we were pleased by the company of a couple of Wild Dogs, very rarely seen before in this area. They were confident and unscared by us, so we followed them along the shore of the lake untill they climbed the hills, silently disappearing in the bush.
