Rare forest birds, vast congregations of waders, gulls, terns and other specialities make Kenya an outstanding birding destination; over 1020 birds species have been recorded within this area, including some rare and little known species that makes the area famous worldwide amongst birders and ornithologists. Since many of birds are restricted to particular habitat type, a major reason for this diversity around Kenya is the wide range of habitat that occur around the area; Kenya has scrubs and forests, savannahs, deserts, mountains, beaches, creeks and lakes which are all unique and such as significant number of birds are only found in there.
