Sorry we haven't been able to update the blog recently but lack of internet access in Ethiopia prevented us from sharing our progress.  We had a fantastic trip and left Ethiopia on 1604 species, well ahead of what we'd hoped.  Very difficult to pick out highlights with SO many good birds, but Prince Ruspoli's Turaco was voted bird of the trip.  Not only incredibly rare but also a fantastic looking creature.  We managed to see all the available Ethiopian endemics including Salvadori's Serin, Sidamo Lark, Yellow-fronted Parrot, Stresemann's Bush-Crow, Thick-billed Raven, Wattled Ibis, Blue-winged Goose, Abyssinian Longclaw, White-tailed Swallow along with a host of other fantastic birds.  For more details, including backdated diary entries, log on to www.thebiggesttwitch.com
