Birds of the horn

Ten days in Ethiopia are such a treat, a mixture of elevated excarpments, big lakes with riverine forest, bushy savannahs and open plains gives out a great variety, an unbelievable variety.
Just the road from Addis heading south to Arba Minch gave me some lifer as Hemprich's hornbill, Hartlaub's bustard and even a Barbary falcon.
The road is long, bordered by fields of teff and patches of woodland dotted with Eucalyptus, birding is difficult also because the guests were not very much into it.
I used a couple of Archaeological visits to get the most out of my binos.  It was good, I got a stunning Mocking cliff chat, an impressive Thick billed raven, a lone Hartlaub's bustard, a couple of Abyssinian ground hornbills, flocks of the endemic Wattled ibis and a shy Northern puffback and many others.
not bad for the first day.
The next day we just moved around Arba Minch, I walk up to the sound of Black headed oriole calling, many other calls could be heard and amongst them also White cheeked turaco and Blue spotted wood dove, just before leaving a Lammergeier flew in front of the cliff overlooking Nechisar NP, later in the morning we headed up the escarpment to visit the Dorze people.
On the way  I had another lifer: White rumped babbler, a really beautiful bird.
In the afternoon we had a boat trip on lake Chamo were the highlight for everybody were the birds also because the crocs were way too hidden in the vegetation.
We had wooly necked stork, Western marsh harrier, White winged tern together with many waders.
