Murchison Falls National Park for the long drive to Kibale National Park\u2026I think it is actually a lodge, but I have only seen the restaurant which is right beside the road. Safari vehicles stop for a toilet break and a coffee. It has mature trees overhanging the buildings and they are full of birds\u2026mostly weavers (and a few sunbirds). There seems to be some confusion about the name of this bird\u2026or at least I am confused. Birds of East Africa calls it the Black-headed Weaver, but Merlin and eBird call it the Village Weaver. It is <em>Ploceus cucullatus <\/em>in both, and Merlin and eBird have another bird called the Black-headed Weaver (<em>Ploceus melanocephalus<\/em>)<strong>, <\/strong>which I am pretty sure we actually saw in Murchison Falls NP. Birds of East Africa calls <em>Ploceus melanocephalus <\/em>the Yellow-backed Weaver. I am not sure at this point what the \u201ccorrect\u201d English names of these birds are. ??? Anyone who knows for sure is welcome to chime in. \ud83d\ude42 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
