Brown Throated Wattle-eye

Brown-throated Wattle-eye: Bigodi Community Birding Project, Bigodi, Uganda, August 2022 — I posted another image of this bird in August while I was still in Uganda, but it deserves another post! This is the male of the species, which is named for the brown throat on the female bird…and that bright red wattle on both sexes. For a supposedly very common bird, I don’t see many in Uganda. One sighting in 2019 and just the one pair in 2022. Always happy to see one, of course. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 500 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
