Hello birding enthusiasts and friends of Kenya Women Birders (KWB)!
This Saturday is the eBird Global Big Day—an exciting opportunity to come together and celebrate the beauty of birds worldwide. Whether you're in the city or deep in nature, we want to know: Where will you be birding from?
Share your birding location in the comments, and you might just find a fellow birder to join you on your adventure!
We look forward to those exciting venues and reports for the same.
Let’s make this Global Big Day one to remember! 🦅🌍

We had a great morning with members of the Kenya Women Birders Club (a club founded by Cisticola Tours - Birding and Nature Tours in East Africa to empower female guides and research assistants in Kenya).

Throwback to Ngong Forest Sanctuary Walk
In all honesty, nothing can stop us, not even the rain. In April, we ventured to Ngong Road Forest Sanctuary despite showers in the morning. As if acknowledging our relentlessness, the sanctuary offered more than we expected: Black-collared Apalis, Pin-tailed Whydahs, Narina Trogon, Crowned Eagle, nesting Common Bulbul, and Red-backed Shrike, not to mention the beautiful green scenery dotted with flowering plants.

Kenya Women Birders
Welcome to the Kenya Women Birders programme. This is a group of passionate women who will be trained in a series of programs to equip them with skills to become professional bird guides. We are partnering with Uganda Women Birders and Rwanda Women Birders. The plan is to have an East African group of women birders who can lead birding tour groups and research groups.
Cisticola Tours is the host of the program in Kenya and will provide opportunities for field trainings, birding resources and much more. The group will be led by women birders and will eventually have leaders.
The Kenya Women Birders launch event will be at Ford Hall, Nairobi National Museum Headquarters, 2-5pm on 29th March, 2019.
Invite all your friends, both men and women, as we launch this great initiative for Kenya. See you all there.
