Naturalistic Report. "Ethiopia: Extended East Route" (including Rift Valley lakes)Period: 8-23

July 200With special attention to the Kuni Muktar Animal Sanctuar(July 13th) and Mount Kundudo (July 15th afternoon and 16th morning)

Totally, over the whole itinerary (Addis, Debre Zeyt, Awash park, Kuni, Gursum (Kundudo), Rift Valley park, Wendo Guennet, Awasa, Irgalem) 165 bird species were counted, out of which 151 indentified to the species (including 7 endemic), whilst for another 14 only the genus taxonomic level was defined, due to a rapid observation.

Taking into consideration the journey took place in a period well before any return migration (with all Palaearctic migratory birds still in Europe), of the theoretically less favourable country parts visited and that the journey was intended as a naturalistic, cultural and conservationist effort and not as a specific ornithological research with the necessary times and personnel, the fact that it was carried out by a single observer, makes the data significantly interesting.
