On my last day in the country, I finished my teaching commitments in time to be able to go back to the Nyandungu Eco-park for a couple of hours. The male African Paradise Flycatcher in the header image grows those spectacular elongated tail feathers every breeding season, then sheds them to regrow them again later.
The eco-park has a sort of split personality, having a kids playground with bouncy castles, and electric buggies in the form of fantasy vehicles that you can hire, and many paths and regions devoted to maintaining the wetlands, and providing wildlife viewing opportunities.
This female African Paradise Flycatcher, with a much shorter tail, had just caught a dragonfly.

The last lifer for me before leaving to go to the airport, an African Harrier-hawk
