The Heat and the Dust would be an apt title for this year's Ethiopia tour with the prolonged drought clearly taking its toll on the landscape and, in places, the livestock. Despite this we went on to see a good selection of this fascinating country's wildlife, including a good number of its endemic birds and mammals and, as befits a country as diverse as Ethiopia, there was something happening right up to the last minute.

Gefersa Reservoir provides a good introduction with large numbers of Blue-winged Geese, Wattled Ibis, Rouget's Rail and Black-headed Siskins opening the endemic count. Our drive across the Soluta Plain gave us a good introduction to just how scenic Ethiopia can be from the well-tended crops to the dramatic gorge. The huge fig tree at Debre Libanos completely full of noisy White-billed Starlings was a memorable sight as were the eye-level raptors at lunch and the Red-chested Swallows flashing Prussian blue and white low over the grassy fields.

North at Bahar Dar seeing not one but two African Finfoots and seeing them so well for the third successive year, with one actually climbing out of the water to preen for a few minutes, was for many the highlight of the visit to Lake Tana. The Blue Nile Falls were perhaps not at their best but pretty stunning nonetheless and the birds around the hotel ground and along the river were superb with perhaps impressive Double-toothed Barbets taking pride of place.

We shared Awash with all sorts of wildlife from amazing numbers of mosquitoes to seven Arabian Bustards, huge flocks of Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse, a few Lichtenstein's Sandgrouse, Senegal Thick-knees, Nile Valley Sunbirds, Sommering's Gazelles and a Caracal. Once again Lake Abiata played host to a flock of Wattled Cranes as well as huge numbers of waders and wildfowl with hordes of shimmering flamingos and our lake-side hotel gave us Freckled Nightjar, Red-fronted Barbet, a family of roosting Grey-headed Woodpeckers and Boran Cisticola.

The parade of birds at Lake Awassa was wonderful with incredible views of Spotted Creeper - up to three together - a Blue-headed Coucal sitting right out in the sun, Black Heron, African Pygmy Geese and Lesser Jacana along the lake shoreline. Yabello was, in contrast to most of the lowland areas we visited, very lush and green. Stressman's Bush Crows were everywhere, many busy building nests, and all around there was a dazzling mixture of birds - Golden-breasted and Shelley's Starlings, Orange-bellied Parrots, D'Arnaud's Barbet, Rosy-patched Shrikes, Bare-eyed Thrush, Lilac-throated Rollers, Gabar Goshawk, Black-cheeked Waxbills, White-bellied Canaries - the list went on and on and it was with some reluctance (and no White-tailed Swallow) that we set out back north.

However more delights awaited us and there was hardly a cloud in sight on the Sanetti Plateau as we enjoyed a fantastic day among the Giant Lobelias and lichen-covered rocks. Up to six Ethiopian Wolves were seen from the road along with hordes of Black-headed Siskins, Moorland Francolin, Spot-breasted Plovers, and Ruddy Shelducks. Lower down the forest was hard work in the afternoon heat but eventually we caught up with Abyssinian Catbird, White-backed Tit and some very obliging Abyssinian Woodpeckers.

The long drive back down towards the Rift Valley was broken with stops for perched Abyssinian Longclaw, a fine male Mountain Nyala right where it should have been, and an Abyssinian Ground Thrush that performed right on cue. At Wondo our forest walk began and ended with a flurry of birds - two Narina's Trogons and an African Pygmy Kingfisher at the start and a fine yellow-shouldered Black Cuckoo-shrike, Scaly-throated and Lesser Honeyguides and Eastern Honeybird to end with. Around the hot springs we had good views of Tambourine Dove and Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike, while in the grounds of the hotel Yellow-fronted Parrots squawked noisily from a fruiting fig.

Another stop at the Langano/Abiata complex proved to be worthwhile with roosting Slender-tailed Nightjars, a Spotted Eagle Owl via the bush telegraph, Hemprich's Hornbill and vivid Sulphur-breasted and Grey-headed Bushshrikes. The brief stop at Lake Zwiay was more than worthwhile with up to six Lesser Jacanas, some fantastic views of Northern Carmine Bee-eaters and a fine lunch, where it was nice to see the Masked Shrike in its usual place. Finally, dusty and tired we wound up back in Addis, close to the end of an almost perfect tour. And to round off such a perfect tour what better than a perfect meal, although for some it was all too much. As they say in Ethiopia - take more water with it!!

Bird List

This is a list of all the species seen during the last six tours to Ethiopia combined with a list of the species actually recorded on the most recent tour. Although we have been running tours to Ethiopia for many years, the tour itinerary changed five years ago when we started to visit Yabello in the south of the country.

Column A = Number of tours this species has been recorded on.
Column B = Number of days this species was seen on the last tour.
Column C = Maximum daily count for this species on the last tour.

H = Heard only
N = Nesting evident
E = Ethiopian & Eritrean endemic
