Birding in Pian Upe Reserve, Northeastern Uganda – The birds were simply amazing. Besides many typical East-African savanna species (which are not so easy to find in Uganda but are fairly common in Kenya and Tanzania) we spotted many of the more localised “specials” like…
the pretty Bruce’s Pigeons and the seldom-seen Stone Partridges (which set up their morning duetting about 5 metres from our breakfast table) andmany others. Tony was very pleased with this – Pian-Upe is going to feature prominently in the low-cost birding trips his company – Mamaland Safaris – will be offering, as soon as travel gets a bit easier.
