Especially as we were at the time about to experience a rapidly advancing tropical storm. Scores of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks circled overhead, these vocal ducks are often hunted illegally here so it was refreshing to see so many. Striated Heron in breeding plumage – extra plumes and blue lores. Great Blue Heron.

The Shoebill serves as the symbol of the magnificent wildlife experiences Uganda offers visitors, which may seem a bit odd. The Shoebill does not simply present itself but rather, like any object of ardent affection, must be pursued diligently. Unfortunately, the world cares little for weavers, no matter how rare or range-restricted.

Thankfully it did not last long and then brought some surprising birding opportunities that we normally only experience in our Wet Season. Grey Teal roosted around a dam alongside Black-fronted Dotterels and Red-kneed Dotterels and Australian Pratincoles were well-camouflaged amongst the cattle. Brown Falcon 50 kilometres from Broome!
