Primate edition: Vervet Monkey

Another primate from the same stretch of back road between Fort Portal and Hima where we saw yesterday’s Black and White Colobus. The Vervet does not seem to be nearly as prevalent in Uganda as it is in Kenya or South Africa. Among the most “naughty” (as they say in Africa) of the monkeys…we might say mischievous. It is always into something it should not be, has no fear of man, and can open almost any door. I would not put it past them to pick locks! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 1000 @ f4 @ 1/500th.

Collared Sunbird

Collared Sunbird: Crater lake near Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Male and female Collared Sunbirds from our little walk along the woodlot on the back road from Kabale to Hima. Too far away! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 250 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
