A flock of Superb Sterling congregate on the dry river valley-acacia woodlot, and dominate the morning cantata in the wild savannah grasslands adjacent to Nairobi National Park

Their metallic whistles and fluid trills rise above the golden expanse, shimmering like sunlight on dew, and punctuated by the gentle waves of whispering wind

Each note weaves through the gentle rustle of dry grass. The distant hum of awakening wildlife and lowing of domestic animals in nearby Maasai homesteads providing proof of a harmonious co-existence

The panorama is enriched by grazing zebras, impalas and gazelles, doves cooing from their lofty perches, finches fluting as they hunt for sustenance, and sunbirds piping as they seek nectar from flowering plants. Even flies add their buzzy bass to this open air orchestra

The superb sterling's iridescent plumage mirrors the dawn, turning the open plain into a living stage where color and sound meet in perfect harmony - a radiant hymn to Kenya's untamed beauty
