Observation details
Ongoing group with juveniles that was first reported in June by the local Nature Kenya staff. Roosting in sedges. Loud chattering raidiating from the marsh when we arrived. At 6:25 first group flew off, by 6:34 almost all gone except 10 that lingered around flying and landing til 6:45. Most left in a few waves in flocks of 100+. About 100 were counted by 1's while the large flocks counted by 10s; these large flocks sometimes splintered into flocks of 30ish allowing me to count and make sure my increments of 10 were accurate. Apolloh and Maxwell just said "more than last time" when they had 400 a week ago. About 10% were males with mostly or fully black heads.
