On the Kazinga channel, in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda, this past August, on a school or pod of hippopotamus…a Yellow-billed Oxpecker works the hippos’ backs. Almost not a bird shot at all! The density of hippos in the Kazinga Channels is as high as any waters in Africa. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.

Black-headed Gonolek: Irungu Forest Lodge, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — One of the more common birds of Uganda, but it can be shy. Patience pays and good views are worth waiting for. They are skulkers in the brush, but they like to sit up higher and sing. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/800th.
