Bird List - Kenya, July 1996

We spent the first five nights in Nairobi, doing trips near town, inclucing into Nairobi National Park, then had two nights in The Ark, five nights in Shaba, then a night at Mountain Lodge, before returning to Nairobi and home.
Apologies for the list not being in systematic order: I kept the list on an alphabetical database on my palmtop.
