Ethiopia
Just returned from a great 16 days in Ethiopia with PB, MCP and RA. Will load a few pics up over the next week or so. Here's a few for starters:
Red-throated Wryneck, Lammergeier and Amur Falcon.
Oooo, they'll do for starters. The Lammergeier was present with and adult, both seen at very close range dropping bones onto rocks next to the road. The Amur was 1 of flock of 20 or so we found on the Liben Plain, an unexpected surprise, even our guide was taken aback when we screamed out.... "STOP the car....F***ing Amur Falcon!"
Actually this Lammergeier was taken a little earlier it was one of the 2 birds at the Anokober Serin site. I was too busy with MCP watching African Stonechat to get any decent pics of the birds dropping bones !

Phil, Nick Bray was out there a week later than you and remarked on the numbers of Amurs out there!
