Ethiopia, Part 3.

This is the last of the birds from Ethiopia but I may get around to doing some mammals later in the week. There are a lot of endemics in Ethiopia and we were lucky enough to see some of them although sometimes they were difficult and not easy to photograph. The Turaco in particular stayed well hidden for most of the time. The Stresmann's though posed very well and they were very loved up. Lastly, the Sidamo Lark just would not stay still so it's not a great shot but as it's one of the rarest birds in the world we were pleased just to see it. Sue

Ethiopia, part one.

We have just come back from 2 weeks in Ethiopia and it's quite a job going through over 2,000 photos. Ethiopia was brilliant for birds of prey so I have done some of them first along with Bustards and Hornbills. We had a great time and although parts were really quite rough, especially the nearer you got to the Somali border, It was not as bad as we expected.
