Northern Carmine Bee-eater: Murchinson Falls National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Along with sunbirds and kingfishers, Bee-eaters are among my favorite African birds. This is the Northern Carmine Bee-eater, certainly a spectacular bird by any measure. We saw many of them at Murchinson Falls National Park early in our trip. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.

Shoebill Stork: Mabamba Swamp, Entebbe, Uganda, August 2022 — As wonderful as seeing the chick of the Shoebill was, it was almost as satisfying seeing a couple of adults. According to our local guide this is a female. It is difficult to image just how large these birds are! They always take me by surprise. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
