Uganda Editon: Lilac-breasted Roller
Lilac-breasted Roller: On the road from Kabale to Lake Mburo, Uganda, August 2022 — It was Stan’s first trip to Africa and all his daughter wanted from him was a photo of a Lilac-breasted Roller. And, though I had seen them in South Africa and Kenya, I had missed seeing one in Uganda in 2019, so I really wanted one on this trip. We watched the wires on the drive from Kabale to Lake Mburo very carefully, and Stan had the honor of calling this one out! We stopped (of course) and took photos. And, of course, once the ice was broken, we saw many more in Lake Mburo National Park…but this one, though totally backlit, was special! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/800th. Plus 1.3EV.
Zebra with foal, variation
Another shot of the mother Zebra with her foal at Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda. I am not sure how old the foal was. The foals are born with brown stripes, which darken as they grow. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Polarr and Apple Photos. And I missed publishing this shot yesterday.
Warthog piglet
During our Birds and Wildlife Safari in Uganda in September there were lots of young animals around…calves and fawns, cubs and piglets. This is Warthog Piglet at Lake Mburo National Park…not newborn, as they only weigh 1 to 2 pounds at birth…but maybe a few weeks old. This is perhaps as cute as a warthog gets (unless, of course, it is a Disney warthog). Sony Rx10iv at 1200mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
