Antelope edition: Oribi
Oribi are small, graceful antelope, and are very common in the tall grass savannah of Murchison Falls National Park…apparently less common elsewhere in Uganda. The females and young can be seen at the edges of grazing herds of Uganda Kob, or off by themselves. The males seem to be more secretive, at least in my experience. I have only seen males twice in Uganda. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos.

White-faced Whistling Duck
White-faced Whistling Duck: Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — These White-faced Whistling Ducks were in the same little puddle-pond/water-hole with the Crake from yesterday, along the road into Pakuba Lodge in Murchison Falls National Park. A look at the range map tells me that the White-faced Whistling Duck has perhaps one of the widest distributions in East Africa and Uganda, and can be seen just about anywhere there is appropriate habitat.
