its a ndege, its a... ndege?...

it's a bird, it's a plane... nope - just birds.
(actually - this one is called a "kite": it floated around like one too)

birds. in swahili thats "ndege" - but then "ndege" also means a plane. just to be confusing.
will be on the plane shortly. we've landed in Dar es Salaam for a bit of beach before my departure (one nice night in a hotel & day at the beach - then a middle of the night/wee hours of the morning drive to the airport!!) i'll be home monday evening.

now for the serengeti feathery friends:
the ostriches!
a whole bunch of these vibrant and shiny little blue birds
(the females dont have the same colourings)
the "secretary bird":


finally, a bunch of friendly little finches hanging out by the olduvai gorge:
the last serengeti pics are next... i've saved the masaai for last...
