That Bird Is Superb

Superb Starling, Birding Kenya, Birds of Kenya, Wild Kenya Safaris,
A superb starling at Ngutuni Sanctuary in Tsavo East Kenya


With its iridescent blue wings and orange red breast, the superb starling can be found across all of Kenya's national parks. Normally spotted around the camps, lodges and areas with acacia trees, its superb colors cannot help but grab the immediate attention of visitors. Filled with confidence and somewhat unafraid of mankind, this bird is easily approachable which hence makes it one of the most photographed birds on a Kenyan safari. 

Watching them constantly hop around as they busily chat away among themselves, their presence makes for a really colorful and enjoyable spectacle.  Have a listen to their song on the link below ...

The Unique Looking Guitar Fish

Guitar Fish resting on the sea bed One of the most interesting characteristics about the guitar fish is its unique body shape. It seemingly looks like a cross between a shark and a ray - with its flattened ray like head yet it has a long shark like body with dorsal fins - but this fish is actually a classification of its own and has about 50 subspecies.  The guitar fish prefers to remain tranquil on the sea bed, partly covering itself with sand to camouflage itself for any unsuspecting prey such as crabs or small fish that may come past it. Reaching sizes of approximately two meters in length, they are quite docile so can easily be approached by underwater photographers.
