The spots in Kenya where people discover rare birds cover a vast ecological area from the south to the coast of the country. The species such spotted are the Waxbills, the Sandpipers and the Gulls and Terns. Often gregarious in nature and colonial seedeaters, waxbills have thick, short but pointed bills. A large, diverse family of shorebirds includes the Sandpipers whose identification is not so easy as they resemble very closely with the other ocean residents. The feathers of Gulls and Terns are either gray or white with black markings on the head. They go with the order of Charadriiformes.

Nature plays a prominent role in locating and relocating the birds in the world. Many such birds have wandered into the territories of Kenya. Ornithologists and bird lovers accidentally stumble upon them and record their findings after careful research. They are the Red-footed booby, the Egyptian plover, the Northern lapwing, the Black-winged Pranticole, the European turtledove, the Short-eared owl, the Long-tailed Nightjar, the Blue-breasted Kingfisher, and the Lowland sooty boubou. Literature about these exotic and rare birds of Kenya is so scant that serious learners would have to visit a library or the museum in the country for more information.
