Uganda Edition: Black Bee-eater

Black Bee-eater: Neck (Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park), Uganda, August 2022 — Another not great shot of a good bird. This is an immature (coming into adult plumage) Black Bee-eater from the Neck forest between Ishasha and Bwindi. Though it is a forest bird across most of Sub-Sahara Africa, it is found in East Africa only in the narrow band of volcanic highlands along the western border of Uganda. This bird as wee and far, as they say, so this is a heavy crop…and being silhouetted against the sky did not help. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro on the Mac Air. ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/500th. Plus 2.7EV.
