Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, August 2022 \u2014 At the time I saw this bird I miss-identified as a White-throated Bee-eater, and we did, indeed, see White-throated not too long after, along the same bank of the channel. Then I tried to make it a White-fronted Bee-eater, but the tail is too long and spiky\u2026so Madagascar. The White-fronted would have been very unusual in Uganda\u2026the Madagascar is expected anywhere in East Africa as a migrant from the south. There are a few nesting records.
