...forgot a Banded Parisoma photo - a smart little bird!

Moth interest not been up to par yet - presumably will increase as it gets damper - but, as usual here, Convolvulus Hawkmoth numbers have to be seen to be believed!

Black Cuckooshrike

Von der Decken's Hornbill - female left and male right

Eastern Nicator

Day 2 was great for local migrants/breeders - 92 of 35 species: best a Banded Parisoma = the first ever ringed here; other good lookers that are very infrequently ringed included Black Cuckooshrike, Eastern Nicator and Von der Decken's Hornbill

Asian Lesser Cuckoo

Ngulia day 2 not so good for Palearctic migrants - lots visible passing low overhead at night but no mist to drop them; morning catch fewer tham 100 but did include a nice scarcity - an Asian Lesser Cuckoo

Red-backed Shrike

Olive-tree Warbler

Barred Warbler

Basra Reed Warbler

...and lots of other nice things coming through the ringing table night and day

Corncrake at the ringing table

Corncrake

First day's been good: humid with all the rain so plenty of mist for a time last mist that prompted a good drop of birds - combined night/day total of 914 ringed incl 2 Corncrakes...

Back in Kenya for another migration session at Ngulia - hasn't actually been looking like this most of time as there's been bucket loads of rain both last night and again today
