Spent a few weeks in Ethiopia beginning of this year, having a look around and doing a bit of stuff completely out of line with my normal work. Got to see some very interesting parts of the country, which are not on any tourist route. Sadly wasn’t able to take many pictures; those I did are aerial from the plane out of Addis.
Spent the last few days in Addis and saw some great birds; a large number of Ethiopian endemics in a small piece of wetland near the airport including dozens of Roget’s Rail. Again, sadly no pictures, as was worried about breaking out the camera so close to the airport.
I was very impressed with Ethiopia and the Ethiopians; whilst parts of Addis are reminiscent of its communist past with some pretty ugly block buildings, there are many wonderful roadside cafes and restaurants, which produce some amazing food. Looking forward to going back and exploring more of the National Parks!
