Primate edition: Black-and-white Colobus Monkey

We stopped for a patch of second growth forest along the road just past where it passes between the two Crater lakes, on our way from Kibale to Queen Elizabeth, and were greeted by a troop of Black-and-white Colobus Monkeys…by far the most common primate on this trip. This gentleman (assuming here) was definitely tracking our movements and intent. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.

Little Greenbul

Little Greenbul: Crater lakes near Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Another bird from our productive stop between the lakes where the Cinnamon-chested Bee-eaters nest. The Little Greenbul is not as spectacular as a Bee-eater, but it is louder! It is in full song here. I had to wonder why it is a “greenbul” and it turns out it is pretty logical. It is green and it is a member of the bulbul family. I will save finding out what a bulbul is a bulbul for another day. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
