Even when the chimpanzees came down lower, they were still high enough in the tree and up against the light behind the canopy to make photography difficult. Still, this youngster and mom were interesting to watch as he clambered around on her lap. Sony Rx10iv at 547mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications with multi-frame noise reduction. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. Equivalent ISO 5000 @ f4 @ 1/500th.

Hairy-breasted Barbet (Streaky-throated): Bigodi Community Birding Project, Bigodi, Uganda, August 2022 — There is evidently some variation in the Hairy-breasted Barbet over its range. This is clearly the Streaky-throated variety (Tricholaema hirsuta [flavipunctata Group]). It is yet another Ugandan bird with a disjointed range on the West Coast of Africa and then nothing until Uganda, and pretty much restricted to Uganda. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 500 @ f4 @ 1/500th. Plus 1EV.
