A pair of Grey Crowned Cranes
One of Africa's most identifiable bird species the Grey Crowned Crane, is also known as the East African Crowned Crane. They can normally be seen in the wetlands and open grass habitats searching for insects, lizards, frogs, fish and seeds. These birds are easily identifiable by their grey plumage, black and white wings and the unmistakable crown of golden feathers on top of their head.
The beautiful grey crowned crane is sadly on the endangered species list, mainly due to their loss of habitat by human population settlements and pollution of agricultural and wetland areas by pesticides.

The Colobus Monkeys Of Diani Beach

Angolan Black And White Colobus Monkey in Diani Beach Kenya A wildlife lover deciding to spend a few days at the Diani Beach coastline will be in for a special photography treat. Its one of the few places in Kenya where one can sight the Angolan Colobus Monkey at close range. They are easily identifiable by their black face, black fur and long locks of white hair that surrounds the face and also hangs off the shoulders. Being arboreal, they generally prefer to stay among the tree branches and canopy's feeding on leaves, fruits and flowers rather than foraging on the ground.
