Day 05 – Wednesday 20 March 2019
Before we headed back to Bole Airport for a 1430 check-in, we birded the “lakeside promenade” and concrete jetty into Lake Awasa before a quick breakfast and departure.
160. Fulvus Whistling-Duck
161. White-backed Duck
162. Black Crake
163. Senegal Thick-knee (heard)
164. Long-tailed Cormorant
165. Malachite Kingfisher These totally trusting birds landed on reeds within one metre of us, carefully scanning the water for a potential meal. Hard not to get a fantastic shot.
166. Black-headed Batis
167. Sedge Warbler
168. African Reed Warbler
169. Northern Black-flycatcher
170. Bronze Mannikin
We stopped at a hotel in Meki for a pit stop and, in the trees there, found our last two species of the trip.
172. Chestnut Weaver
Eventually we got onto the freeway, arriving at Bole Airport at 14hr00. Administration was as per all international airports in the world these days and we were away by 17hr00.
