Kori Bustard, Red-winged Starling

["kevin wheeler" <turtleherder at hotmail dot com>]

Hey all -
Pam and I got to Africa yesterday.  It's great.  Rained all night.
First birds in Africa were red-winged starlings at the airport, also saw 
ostriches and Kori bustard and lilac-breasted rollers, Superb Starlings, and 
Helmeted guineafowl on the way to Tanzania.
We were in London for the better part of two days - saw 39 species there, 
including smew, european robin, great crested grebe, carrion crow, common 
wood-pigeon, long-tailed tits, blue tit, great tit, black-headed and 
European Herring gulls, European Magpie, Lots of tame common morehens, 
Eurasian coot, great cormorant, lots more.   Didn't see a single house 
sparrow!!!  Also saw lots of old buildings.
Planning to go into the National Parks on safari starting Saturday, should 
see lots more african wildlife then.
Having a swell time - hope you all are jealous.
Kevin
