The Vultures ruffling their feathers!…
Category: Samburu | Date: Nov 24 2008 | By: milgistrust
An extraordinary sound to wake up to yesterday morning towards the east… A rumbling in the distance.. I asked a Samburu what it could possibly be? He Said .. yes he heard it and confirmed that it was the Vultures on Moile Rock “shaking their wings”.. Moile rock is probably about 100kms away towards the Kaisut Desert!!.. “Its probably going to rain again”…He said… We climbed up to the new radio hill, from which you can see for miles…there wasn’t a cloud in the sky yesterday! And its funny I heard another Samburu guy tell a man who was not from this area… ” don’t take the tarpaulin off the car, as the rains will be back”… the reply..” Ah the rains are finished”, and the Samburu guy said…” No ‘the star’ has not come up in the sky yet… So keep the tarpaulin on”!..I presume that star must be Mars…..or maybe mercury?? Lets see what happens… By the way there are lots of clouds to day!!
Talking of stars.. don’t forget to keep an eye on Jupiter and Venus in the evening sky… They are again getting very close to each other… Just a wonderful sight!!

I Helen Douglas-Dufresne, have been doing walking camel safaris for the last 20 years in the Mathews-Ndoto region having witnessed the destruction of the Milgis ecosystem by the local communities who were unaware of its implications, either we did something or not- so the Milgis trust was born!
