Chris, the bird watcher, really nice 2nd set of images, esecially the bathing one

There're over 1000 different species of birds, so it's a birders Walhalla.
There're a more to come.

You found Shoebills !!

How special was that?!

And you got a beautiful photograph of the Malachite Kingfisher — it's not easy to get close enough and to get an uncluttered view of those shy little birds.

Shoebills are not that difficult to spot in Uganda, but it's still very impressive.
I saw quite a lot of Malachite Kingfisher (dozens) and other Kingfishers as well.

The next morning was an even more earlier start (5:30) as we had to drive 11 hours to the Kidepo Valley NP in the North of Uganda near the border of Sudan.
We crossed the White Nile (from Lake Albert to Lake Victoria.
A long the road there were lot's of small villages.

This one was at a small fountain at our lodge.
Brown Weaver (not 100% sure) and Yellow-vented Bulbul

Lovely bathing scene!

Chris, anything you decide to show here looks enjoyable.  I'm interested in the "street" scenes, and remembered that Richard Bona, now pretty famous bass player from Cameroon, had told me that he used the break wire from bicycle as the strings for his guitar.
