The Kenya Birdfinder is part of an internet-based network of databases for the collection of bird observation worldwide. 

Kenya Birdfinder seeks to record bird observations as a source of information to help us understand birds on a local, national and international scale. The database will enable you to store and manage your own observations, view, download or print reports, checklists or maps of your choice and make a contribution to bird conservation in Kenya by submitting your records.

 Join the system and submit your bird observation online. All you need to do is to log on to www.worldbirds.org/kenya and register your personal details to gain access to all the sites, pages and range of tools as provided in the system

The system will enable you to explore different locations around Kenya and find out what birds have been seen and when and where they were recorded. As well as contributing your own observations you will be able to view other people’s records, which may influence your next birding trip.

The records that you add to the Kenya Birdfinder will provide a comprehensive picture on what is happening to Kenya’s avifauna in terms of their abundance trends and distribution.

Kenya Birdfinder is coordinated by Nature Kenya, the Ornithology Department of the National Museums of Kenya, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB, in UK) and BirdLife International.
