Black-chested Snake-Eagle: Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Not the most attractive of perches…but still…a Black-chested Snake-Eagle is a good bird at any time. (Any eagle for that matter!) On the power lines beside the highway where it runs trough Queen Elizabeth National Park. 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. Plus 1.7EV for the terrible lighting.
Yellow-throated Longclaw: Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — It was very hot by the time we finished our boat tour on the Kazinga Channel, but with only parts of two days in Queen Elizabeth, we pretty much had to get out on a game drive. We were rewarded with several interesting sightings, including these Yellow-throated Longclaws. I defy anyone from North American not to think Meadowlark when you see this bird for the first time. 🙂 But, it is actually a pipit. Go figure. They love to sign from the tops of the bushes and hunt in the grass. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. Bush; ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/1000th, grass: ISO 160 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
