I birded Uganda, which was my first time on the continent of Africa. I saw nine species of kingfisher while I was in Uganda. I always wanted to see a bright red male and my long wait was over this December when I managed to connect with one at San Joaquin Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary. Number 9 – Gray-headed Kingfisher.

If I were to describe my long time wildlife nemesis, my ultimate dip of dips, I would reach for a nemesis cat, not a nemesis bird. I had spent six months living in suitable rainforest habitat in Uganda, and been on innumerable safari walks , drives and cruises were they might be found. One of the great wildlife encounters in my life.
