Brown-backed Scrub-Robin: Bogodi Birding Project, Bogodi, Uganda, August 2022 — I had arranged this year to do the Bogodi Swamp Walk in the morning to, possibly, see more birds, and the Chimpanzee Trek in the afternoon. I figured the Chimps would be there all day, and the birds, maybe not so much. As it turns out our tour company does not do the actual Bogodi Swamp Walk, with is at one end of the village. We do the Bogodi Birding Project, a community run and sponsored endeavor, with is at the other end of the village, and takes us out into a patch of remnant forest and some agricultural openings. In my thinking I did not figure in that we would also have lower light levels to deal with in the early morning…not a problem so much for birding, but a problem for my photography. The photos I have from Bogodi are not that great, but the birds are interesting. This is, I think, a Brown-backed Scrub-Robin. It got recorded on the checklist for the trip as a Forest Scrub-Robin but that bird would be unlikely in Bogodi and had a very different wing pattern, and Merlin identifies these photos as either Brown-backed or Red-backed (White-browed)…and I am going with Brown-backed due to the lack of bold streaking on the breast. Again, anyone who knows better should correct me 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos.
