Some huge carp feeding off the fruit falling from the fig tree leaning over the Ziwani Island House deck. These fish have survived because Korongo Bay, in which Ziwani Island is situated, is a designated fish breeding ground so we relentlessly protect our fish from illegal fishermen. #ecotourism #wildlifeconservation #ziwaniisland #lakenaivasha

The weirdest thing happened today: an hammerkop alighted on the prow of the canoe during our commute from the island to the mainland this morning. Maybe he thought we were a fishing boat? #hammerkop #lakenaivasha
An elaborate courtship dance. Which of these two handsome fellas will she select as her mate? We have a resident male crane who was rescued, having had his wing damaged when he hit a power line. He has been courting a female who flew on the island a few weeks ago. Today we had another male visit the island which sparked this dance. Eventually the imposter left…#ziwaniisland #crownedcrane #greycrestedcrane #lakenaivasha #birdinginkenya #kenyabirder #ornitology #lakenaivasha

The shallows are teaming with water birds. Our resident saddle billed stork standing tall amongst a flock of yellow billed storks. The yellow billed storks nest in Acacia trees in Naivasha town and they’ve brought their young to the peaceful haven of Ecoscapes Sanctuary #ecoscapessanctuary #ziwaniisland #ecoscapesagroecologicalfarm #birdingkenya #saddlebilledstork #yellowbilledstork
