Western Nicator

Western Nicator: Bigodi Community Birding Project, Bigodi, Uganda, August 2022 — Birds of East Africa says the Nicators are common, but difficult to see in well grown forest and rainforest at mid-elevations of East Africa. This one indeed played hard to get in the little patch of remnant forest on the Bigodi Birding walk. Like many East African Birds, the Western Nicator has a range further west in Africa along the Atlantic coast, and then a disjunct range mostly in Uganda. (Nicator, by the way, seems to mean victor or conquer in some ancient language, though I could be wrong about that.) Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 400 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
