We spent this last weekend in Sirheni and I saw a Black-faced Waxbill. I was very surprised, but according to Roberts Multi Media, it is in (or just outside) the bird's normal distribution.

My total now is 321.

This trip supplied 116, but my previous trips will definitely add more, so we go do some homework...
