A rare bird believed to have migrated from Finland and flown over 6,000 kilometres was on Thursday fished out of the waters of Lake Kanyaboli in Siaya county.
The bird known as Osprey, a fish-eating bird of prey, is believed to have flown a distance of 6,948 kilometres to land at Usalu village in West Yimbo Location of Bondo Sub County, Siaya County.
A resident of the tiny village located along the shores of the oxbow lake, Walter Oloo, is said to have spotted the bird three days earlier.
He reported the discovery to Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) personnel in Siaya County.
The bird’s origin was established from a reference ring on its leg, whose details show that it was ringed in Helsinki, Finland.
It was reportedly caught in a fishing net and had struggled to free itself, according to a press statement released by Paul Odoto, the KWS Communications director on Thursday.
