Some noteworthy distributional records from the Gwassi Hills area, Homa Bay County, Kenya

Abstract

A preliminary inventory of birds occurring in the Gwassi Hills area was compiled by Bradley et al. (2015), following surveys between 2011 and 2014, which focused on sub-montane forest (1800–2000 m). Here I detail a number of additional interesting distributional records made principally in montane forest (above 2000 m) and foothill woodlands (1200–1600 m) during birding visits to the area in October 2015, October 2016, March 2017 and November 2017.
