Washington Wachira wants us all to get to know the marvellous species of birds that share the planet with us. If you're not already a fan of earth's feather makers - or concerned about their conservation - you will be after you watch this delightful talk.

Washington is an ecologist, safari guide and nature photographer based in Kenya. He has been involved with birds since he was a 14 year old boy. Today, he runs Cisticola Tours LTD, a safari company that leads top birding and nature tours across Kenya and East Africa. Washington continues to be a voice for conservation across Africa and the entire world.
