Photos of Eritrea's Bird Life

Eritrea's bird life is surprisingly abundant and diverse. Nearly 560 species of birds have been recorded. This high number of bird diversity within Eritrea is largely due to its location. Eritrea lies between a popular bird migratory path that links the middle-east and the African continent. The highest concentration of bird populations within Eritrea are usually to be found in the Semenawi Bahri national park, Asmara plateau, Dahlak Islands and the coast.

More known birds, such as the ostrich, (know as Segen in the Tigrinya language), are to be found in eastern parts of Eritrea (Danakila). The vultures are found throughout all of Eritrea, while  raptors are found on the Dahlak Islands and the Eritrean plateau. Eagles are found throughout most of Eritrea, with greatest numbers of them residing in the Semenawi Bahri national park.

I wrote a book on eritrea with my best photographs during the past two years between Asmara and the archipelagos of Dahlak on your beautiful country, unfortunately my book it was only in French, I know that Eritrea interest many people everywhere around the world, thank you to the Eritreans who helped me to realize these wonderful pictures.
