Unsurprisingly we were up and out well before dawn, but it was worth it as the sunrise was beautiful.
Light levels were still a bit low for my cameras but I did manage a few shots of Patas monkeys.
Initially I thought these two were having a lovely cuddle.
Then I watched as one sank their teeth into the other.
Yet another Northern Red Bishop, but they're too colourful to pass by.
I liked this silhouette of Olive Baboons sitting in the tree.
There isn't a great deal of wildlife around so I'm tending to take a shot of anything hence they will be rather repetitive. Cape Buffalo wallowing.
Ugandan Kob f.
This is a juvenile Piapiac, as it matures the beak turns completely black.
Always happy to see baby giraffe, this is an endangered Rothschild's.
Closely followed by Dad
And then a nice family stroll.
They are so ungainly when they run.
White-backed Vultures.
And one in flight carrying what looks like a bit of intestine.
Tawny Eagle
Ruppell's Vulture
Dark Chanting Goshawk
This lovely bird is another lifer - it's a Silverbird.
Mousebird which we've seen many times before in Africa.
The first lions we've seen in Uganda, there were 3 females lying around and this one looked like she'd suffered an injury to her right eye.
Side-stripe Jackal
This pair of Grey-backed Fiscal Shrikes were putting on a great mating display.
I think the male was successful eventually.
Then one of them flew off immediately.
And now for some more repeats but as I said earlier, there wasn't a great deal around.
A rather cute Patas monkey sitting by the roadside. Sometimes it's very hard to get Gerald and Olly to stop for opportunities like this as they are so fixated on birds, whereas other Ian and I like anything and everything.
Female Red-headed Agama (not nearly as colourful as her male counterpart which are hanging around the lodge so hopefully I can get a photo)
Sausage Tree
You'd certainly know it if one of these landed on you.
Back to the lodge for a quick lunch and only another female Agama was willing to pose.
