Vieillot’s Weaver (or Vieillot’s Black Weaver): Kyenjojo District, Uganda, August 2022 — Along with the Village Weavers at the lodge where we stopped for a rest break between Hoima and Fort Portal, there were Vieillot’s Weavers…still sometimes (and by some authorities) called Viellots’s Black Weaver. There are two forms with separate ranges. West African birds have a chestnut back and are sometimes (and again by some) called Chestnut-backed Weavers. Some consider the Chestnut-backed to be a different species and give it a different scientific name, but the IOC and eBird list both birds as the one species: Ploceus nigerrimus. Being Uganda, this is clearly the East African form with the black back. 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. I would have liked to get a slightly better photo of this bird, but we were trying to get to Fort Portal for lunch, and some of were hungry!
