Day 24 of 365; Red-billed Hornbill

Red-billed Hornbills spend a lot of time on the ground, walking and hopping around while searching for insects, seeds and small reptiles.
Their long bill isn’t just for show, it a tool that picks up dangerous creatures like scorpions and centipedes while keeping their head and eyes safe.

Day 23 of 365; Rüppell’s Starling

Another jewel, most of our starlings belong to the genus Lamprotornis the glossy starlings, famous for their spectacular iridescent plumage.

Day 22 of 365; Von der Decken’s Hornbill

Von der Decken’s Hornbill is named after Baron Karl Klaus von der Decken (1833–1865), a German explorer and naturalist who travelled extensively in East Africa in 1861 and 1862. He and his expedition collected and documented numerous plants and animals including the hornbill which was formally described and named after him.
Tragically, in 1865, during an expedition in Somalia, von der Decken and several members of his party were killed near Bardera. He also made two attempts at climbing mt Kilimanjaro up to 14 000ft

Day 21 of 365; Eastern yellow-billed Hornbill

A familiar hornbill of Kenya’s dry country, named from its bright ripe banana bill.
They are cooperative breeders and the female is sealed inside a tree cavity during incubation leaving only a narrow slit for passing food to her and, later, the chicks.
Leap of faith at its best

Day 20 of 365; Southern Ground Hornbill

African hornbills have two distinct families: the ground dwelling nd the tree-nesting hornbills.
They are closely related to hoopoes and wood-hoopoes rather than toucans.
The Southern Ground Hornbill is one of Africa’s most distinctive birds, and one of the largest hornbills in the world. Unlike most hornbills, it spends much of its time walking across the ground, hunting for insects, reptiles, frogs, small mammals and even snakes. They live in family groups often with several adults helping to raise the young. They are cooperative breeders, with one dominant breeding pair supported by other members of the group.

Day 19 of 365; Long-tailed fiscal

A bird of the open dry country, bushed savanna and woodland, often seen sitting prominently on bushes as they survey the surroundings. During display, they gather in small groups and frantically wave their long tails in different directions in synchronized group chorusing, a mixture of sliding, metallic whistles, harsh chatters, and raspy notes, to communicate and defend their territory.

Day 18 of 365; Bristle-crowned Starling

The Bristle-crowned Starling belongs to a group Red-winged starlings that belong to the same genus. It is a bird of Kenya’s dry, rocky landscapes, often seen around cliffs, gorges and rocky outcrops. Its name comes from the distinctive bristle-like feathers on its forehead,

Day 17 of 365; Grey-backed Fiscal

Similar to yesterday’s Taita fiscal but slightly larger and social, living in groups of two to a dozen birds with one breeding pair. The other members act as helpers, assisting the breeding pair in raising the chicks. In a Kenyan study near Lake Naivasha, non-breeding helpers made up as much as 66% of the population studied.
Even more fascinating is that male offspring can remain in their natal territory and eventually inherit breeding opportunities, rather than immediately dispersing

Day 16 of 365; Taita fiscal

Fiscal is not a formal taxonomic group like a family or genus. It’s a common name given to a number shrikes endemic to Africa, the word fiscal comes from the birds’ black-and-white, formal-looking plumage, which was thought to resemble the clothing of a colonial-era official or “fiscal.”
