WILLIS OKECH

I am a Luo by tribe, one of the infamous fishermen from Lake Victoria in Western Kenya, where I was born on the 16th August 1971. I completed my British style "A"-Level education in 1989, then for two years I was a volunteer, working behind the scenes in the Ornithological Department at the National Museum of Kenya. I have also participated as a guest research assistant in Hungry for The Earthwatch Institute. On the weekend of 9-10 October 1993 myself and several colleagues participated in a 48-hour, charity worldwide bird count, and were lucky enough to record a worldwide highest total of 279 species. I am a regular contributor to local wildlife magazines locally, and my photographs stock several libraries worldwide. I hold a Diploma in Ornithology and have received several Awards of Merit from the New York Institute of Photography for a Diploma course in photography.
