Head Scout’s daily report
Reporting date: 19/12/2011
For over one month now, every monday mornings Philip, Alex and Florence have been leading bird watching excursions around the camp to find out the avifauna diversity. We use physical observations as well as bird sound recordings to identify the different species of birds. Our bird sounds database has over 400 bird sounds recorded. So far we have recorded 83 different species. We hope that with subsequent bird walks more bird species will be recorded around the camp.
Maasai Mara is known to host over 450 bird species.
