So that’s what a tusk is for!

This Elephant has been right here in this little bay on the Kasinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda on both my visits, in 2018 and again this year. Do you suppose it has moved? I like the way the trunk is casually looped over the tusk. There are any really huge tusks in Uganda, do to a spotted history of exploitation, but one’s tusks are substantial. Good to see them being put to work 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 123mm equivalent (we were close!). Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos.

Water Thick-knee

Water Thick-knee: Kasinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — The boats used for touring on the Kasinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth National Park are considerably smaller than the ones we use on the Nile in Murchison Falls National Park, which means that we can get considerably closer to the shore and birds and wildlife. This Water Thick-knee was well within portrait distance. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/800th.
