Uganda Pearl of Africa

9 June – 25 June 2012

This was a first visit to Africa, and it exceeded expectations. It was a custom trip for one participant Robert L. Dix (rdix2002@yahoo.com), the author. The trekking, boat excursions, and wildlife safaris provided sufficient variety to make the visit a great adventure. Paul Tamwenya of www.birdinginuganda.com met me as I exited Entebbe International Airport late on the night of the 9th of June. Paul was my driver and guide for the trip. The first night was at The Lodge which is between Entebbe and the capital city, Kampala. It was easy for me to wake up early on the 10th of June, and I immediately looked around the grounds of The Lodge. Since I was alone at first, I took photos of the birds that I saw in order to get Paul’s confirmation. The Lodge’s grounds provided Ring-necked & Red-eyed Doves, Double-toothed Barbet, Common

Bulbul, African Blue-flycatcher, Yellow White-eye, Bronze & Copper Sunbirds, and Ruppell’s Long-tailed & Splendid Starlings. This exciting quick event was just before breakfast. Shortly after breakfast we departed for Murchison Falls NP. Since it was Sunday, Kampala was very quiet; so, Paul showed me around the city. In addition to the stores & government buildings, I noticed Marabou Storks everywhere as well as Pied Crows, Black Kites, and of course Feral Pigeons. Paul was exceptional at being a good driver and being quick to spot birds worthy of a stop. Soon after leaving Kampala, he stopped the car for Palm-nut Vulture, Lizard Buzzard, Shikra, Wahlberg’s Eagle, Eastern Grey Plantain-eater, and Spot-flanked Barbet. Most all of those were in one great stop. We had very good lunch at a nice roadside restaurant owned and operated by a lady from Dallas, Texas. The combination of more great stops and early arrival at Murchison Falls NP produced Black-headed Heron, Hamerkop, Woolly-necked & African Open-billed Storks, Western Banded Snake-Eagle, Long-crested & Martial Eagles, Grey Falcon, Helmeted Guineafowl, White-crested Turaco, Red-chested & Diederik Cuckoos, White-rumped, Mottled, & African Palm Swifts, Striped, Grey-headed, Woodland, & African Pygmy Kingfishers, Red-throated Bee-eater, Broad-billed Roller, Black-and-white-casqued Hornbill, Speckled Tinkerbird, Black-billed Barbet, Lesser Striped & Wire-tailed Swallows, Sooty Chat, Tawny-flanked Prinia, White-shouldered Tit, Olive-bellied, Scarlet-chested & Collared Sunbirds, Common Fiscal, Black-headed Gonolek, Piapiac, Chestnut-crowned Sparrow-Weaver, Grosbeak, Village, & Compact Weavers, Fantailed & White-winged Widowbirds, Black-winged Red Bishop, Pin-tailed Whydah, Brimstone Canary, and Western Citril. The mammals were Scrub Hare, Common Warthog, African Civet, and African Buffalo. That made a total of 65 bird species for the first day and most of the day was spent driving to the NP. The nights of June 10 & 11 were at Sambiya River Lodge in Murchison Falls NP. After a wonderful first day June 11 proved to be another bird & mammal filled day at Murchison Falls NP. In the morning & early afternoon we spotted Cattle Egret, Black-shouldered Kit, Bateleur, Grey Crowned Crane (National Bird), Spur-winged, African Wattled, & Black-headed Lapwings, Black-billed Wood-Dove, Vinaceous Dove, Black-and-white Cuckoo, Speckled Mousebird, Swallow-tailed & Northern Carmine Bee-eaters, Abyssinian Gound-hornbill (wonderful find), Flappet Lark, Banded Martin, African Moustached Warbler, Zitting, Croaking, Whistling, Siffling, & Foxy Cisticolas, Black-headed Batis, African Paradise-flycatcher, Silverbird, Beautiful Sunbird, Grey-backed Fiscal, Black-crowned Tchagra, Yellow-billed Oxpecker, Shelley’s & Grey-headed Sparrows, Speckle-

fronted, White-browed, Yellow-backed & Little Weavers, Red-billed Quelea, Northern Red Bishop, African Firefinch, and Yellow-fronted Canary. The mammals were Olive Baboon, Petas Monkey, Striped Ground Squirrel, African Elephant, Rothschild’s Giraffe, Busbuck, Oribi, Uganda Kob (National Mammal), Defassa Waterbuck, and Hartebeest. Then it was time for the boat trip to near the bottom of the falls. The birds seen from the boat included Long-tailed Cormorant, African Darter, Common Squacco & Purple Herons, Little, Intermediate, Great, & Black (special find) Egrets, Yellow-billed Stork, Sacred & Hadada Ibises, Spur-winged & Egyptian Geese, White-faced & Fulvous Whistling Ducks, African Fish Eagle, African Jacana, Denham’s & Black-bellied Bustards, Water Thick-knee, Rock Pratincole, Spur-winged & Long-toed Lapwings, Grey-headed Gull, Gull-billed Tern, African Skimmer, and Pied Kingfisher. This was complemented with a couple of Nile crocodiles resting under a tree. Later in the evening while driving near the lodge Swamp, Plain & Pennant-winged Nightjars showed in the car’s headlights. June 12 we birded the southern sector of Murchison Falls NP and drove through Budongo Kaniyo Pabid with stops. A special stop was made at Busingiro, a Chimpanzee trekking area. Early in the drive a Verreaux’ Eagle-Owl (pink eyelids) crossed the road and perched in a nearby tree. Other birds were Dark Chanting Goshawk (see photo at right), African Crowned Eagle, Tambourine & Laughing Doves, Spotted Morning-Thrush, Dusky Long-tailed Cuckoo, Scarce Swift, Madagascar Bee-eater, African Pied Hornbill, Angola Swallow, White-headed Saw-wing, Yellow-whiskered Greenbul, Red-capped Robin-Chat, Yellow Longbill, Chestnut Wattle-eye, Red-bellied Paradise-flycatcher, Puvel’s Illadopsis (a target bird), Western Black-headed Oriole, Vieillot’s Black Weaver, Red-collared & Yellow-mantled Widowbirds, Black Bishop, Red-winged Pytilia, Green-backed Twinspot, Red-cheeked Cordon-blue, Bronze Mannikin, and Village Indigobird. Just after we arrived at the Masindi Hotel in Masindi, an African Thrush was in the parking lot across from my room, and an African Harrier-Hawk was perched on the roof. Mammals of the day included Black-and-white Colobus, Red-tailed Monkey, and Hippopotamus.

We departed early June 13 for the nearby Budongo Forest’s Royal Mile. Heuglin’s Francolin, Grey-headed Oliveback, Back-bellied Firefinch, Black-crowned Waxbill, Black-and-white Mannikin, and White-breasted Negrofinch were noticed along the road to the Royal Mile. The Royal Mile had Narina Trogon, Chocolate-backed & African Dwarf Kingfishers, Yellow-throated Tinkerbird, White-thighed Hornbill, Yellow-spotted Barbet, Willcock’s Honeyglide, Slender-billed, Little Grey & Yellow-throated Greenbuls, Fire-crested Alethe, Red-tailed Ant-Thrush, Rufous Flycatcher-Thrush, Brown-backed Scrub-Robin, Green Hylia, Northern Crombec, Rufous-crowned Eremomela, Lead-coloured, Forest, & Gray-throated Flycatchers, Olive Sunbird, and Lesser Blue-eared & Purple-headed Starlings. A Blue Monkey and Alexandra’s Ground Squirrel were also seen. We stopped at a nearby pond for Knob-billed Duck and Blue-breasted, Shining-blue, & Malachite Kingfishers. On the road back to Masindi a perched Lizard Buzzard was scoped eating an Egyptian Cobra. June 14 was a long drive day to the Kibale Forest NP area via Holma with stops including at a few papyrus swamps. It was interesting for me to notice that when I was about to point out a bird on a telephone wire or elsewhere that I thought Paul did not see, he would say the name of the bird and usually add that we already saw the bird. Many times Paul would stop the car for a new bird. He is an excellent driver who can bird at the same time. The new birds we saw were Osprey, African Green Pigeon, Great Blue Turaco, African Emerald Cuckoo, Alpine Swift, Blue-naped Mousebird, Crowned Hornbill, Speckled Tinkerbird, Grey-throated Barbet, Mosque Swallow, Yellow-throated Longclaw, White-winged Warbler, Black-and-white Shrike-flycatcher, Dusky Tit, Papyrus Gonolek, Velvet-mantled Drongo, Northern Brown-throated & Holub’s Golden Weavers, Red-headed Malimbe, Grey-headed Nigrofinch, and Red-billed Firefinch. A Variable Sunbird was spotted at out stop for the night, Ataco Country Resort. Chimpanzee tracking day (actually a few hours in the morning) 15 June at Kibale NP provided great views of the Chimps as I had an excellent park guide for an easy walk amongst them. At times we were very close to them. The guide told me not to eat anything around them; so, I immediately lost my snack appetite. A Grey-cheeked Mangabay (monkey) and a Red-legged Sun Squirrel were also seen during the day. After lunch (at the park restaurant) Paul showed me Gabar Goshawk, Black Bee-eaters, Black-casqued Wattled Hornbill, Yellow-spotted Barbet, African Pied Wagtail, Western Nicator, Red-tailed Bristlebill, White-tailed Ant-Thrush, Cassin’s Grey & Sooty Flycatchers, Scaly-breasted Illadopsis,

and Green Sunbird. A dedicated trek in the forest lead us to find a special bird of the day, a Green-breasted Pita. While driving to Semliki Forest NP on 16 June a Saddle-billed Stork was scoped. Others along the road included Ross’s Turaco, Nubian Woodpecker, Wing-snapping Cisticola, Slender-billed Weaver, and Cabanis’s Bunting. During the walk in the park there was Western Bronze-naped & Olive Pigeons, Levaillant’s Cuckoo, Yellowbill, White-browed Coucal, African Grey & Piping Hornbills, Yellow-crested, Grey & Cardinal Woodpeckers, Yellow-billed Barbet, Toro Olive, Cameroon Sombre & Red-tailed Greenbuls, Gray-capped Warbler, Northern Black Flycatcher, Blue-headed Crested-flycatcher, Black-lored Babbler, Green-throated & Little Green Sunbirds, Black-winged Oriole, Crested Malimbe, and Southern Red Bishop. Central African Red Colobus was the only new mammal and was seen in the forest. The day of 17 June was a drive with stops from Ataco Country Lodge to Queen Elizabeth NP, first driving backwards to Sebitoli (Kibale NP) birding the highway. A much desired Afep Pigeon was at the first stop along with Black-faced Rufous Warbler, Red-faced Cisticola, White-chinned Prinia, Pink-footed Puffback, and Narrow-tailed & Slender-billed Starlings. Other birds of the day included Common Kestrel, Blue-headed Coucal, African Dusky Flycatcher, Ludher’s Bush-shrike, and Black-necked, Brown-capped & Yellow-mantled Weavers. The whole day of 18 June was at Queen Elizabeth NP. A reptile, Striped Skink, was at the Simba Safari Lodge. On the way to the entrance we viewed a perched Tawny Eagle, Black Coucal, and Lesser Masked & Golden-backed Weavers. Soon after entering the park, one of several Red-necked Spurfowl was along the road; later Paul scoped a flock of Lesser Flamingo on Lake Byunyampaka. Other birds included African Morning Dove, Common Scimitarbill, Rufous-naped & Flappet Larks, Rufous-chested & Grey-rumped Swallows, Jackson’s, Long-billed & Plain-backed Pipits, White-browed Robin-chat, Chin-spot Batis, Common Moorhen, and African White-backed Vulture. A Red-chested Sunbird was at the park lodge in the afternoon prior to the boat trip on the Kazinga Channel; a Swamp Flycatcher and a Lesser Swamp Warbler were waiting for us near the dock. The boat trip gave good views of an African Spoonbill, Black Crake, Intermediate, Grey & Goliath Herons, White-breasted Cormorant, and Collared Pratincole plus a reptile, Nile Monitor. After that on a drive towards our lodge were Green-winged Pytilia, Fork-tailed Drongo, and Senegal Lapwing. The mammals for the day were Vervet Monkey, Leopard, Lions, and a Giant Forest Hog.

A bird packed June 19 day on the road from Queen Elizabeth NP to Bwindi Impenetrable NP started with a Pink-backed Pelican seen from the Zazinga Channel Bridge. At single stop there were Hooded, Ruppell’s Griffon , and Lappet-faced Vultures all perched near the road. Nearby were Violet and Wattled Starlings. Ayre’s Hawk-Eagle and Augur & Mountain Buzzards as well as Rock Martin and Red-rumped Swallow came into view in the mountains near Bwindi. Other birds during the drive were Black-billed Turaco, Cinnamon-chested Bee-eater, Petit’s Cuckoo-shrike, Trilling Cisticola, White-tailed Blue-flycatcher, Arrow-marked Babbler, Sulpher-breasted Bush-shrike, Spectacled Weaver, and Streaky Seedeater. A Chubb’s Cisticola was waiting for us at Trekker’s Turban Lodge at a windy Bwindi Impenetrable NP. The much anticipated Gorilla tracking day at Bwindi Impenetrable NP 20

June was a lot more than dreamed. The day was complicated by a digestive track problem on the trail. Paul suggested that I hire a porter, and I thought why I am not taking a suite case! Since the cost was nominal, I decided to follow Paul’s advice. That was the best idea ever because my porter ended up

carrying everything that I brought including my bins. In fact, the porter took my hand to help me up the slippery mountain trails. Upon return a park guide was gently pushing me up the trails while the porter was pulling. Was it worth it? When I finally first saw the Gorillas, I immediately knew that I was having a once in a lifetime event. A baby was using its reclining mother’s tummy as a drum, and she was smiling. The guides and I walked within four to five feet of them to go and visit the Silverback. No new birds, but I was so busy and happy with being close to the Gorillas that I did not care. The park guide did point out another mammal while tracking, a Black-fronted Duiker.

21 June proved to be another adventuresome trek in the mountains of Bwindi Impenetrable NP. At the end of our deepest penetration (lunch time) the trail was so steep and slick that I asked Paul if we would be able to get out. He replied “Of course, I guarantee it!” He very wisely chose another trail with a lot new birds. We walked back mostly circumnavigating the mountains except at the very end. The birds included Great Sparrowhawk, White-headed Wood-hoopoe, Olive Woodpecked, Mountain & Yellow-streaked Greenbuls, White-starred Robin, Archer’s Robin-Chat, White-browed Crombec, and Collared, Black-throated & Mountain Masked Apalis (s). Others birds of the day were White-eyed Slaty & Yellow-eyed Black Flycatchers, Rwenzori Batis, Rwenzori Hill-Babbler, Stripe-breasted Tit, Purple-breasted & Regal Sunbirds, Mackinnon’s Fiscal, Northern Puffback, Montane Oriole, Chestnut-winged & Sharpe’s Starlings, Black-headed Waxbill, Yellow-crowned Canary, Western Citril, and Oriole-Finch. A Rwenzori Gound Squirrel was spotted early in the morning near the lodge. It was cool and calm the morning of 22 June as we left Trekker’s Turban Lodge on our drive from Bwindi Impenetrable NP to Lake Mburo NP. Soon a Handsome Francolin was at the roadside as well as a L’Hoest’s Monkey. Some short stops gave Barred Long-tailed Cuckoo, Green Wood-hoopoe, Grey Cuckoo-shrike, African Stonechat, Green-capped Eremonela, Yellow Bishop, Black-crowned Night-Heron, and Baglafecht, Strange, & Black-billed Weavers. A Speckled Pigeon was waiting at a gas station. Arrival at Lake Mburo boat dock was just a few minutes late, but the boat returned to pick me up. As I stepped down on to a small dock attached to the main dock my feet slipped and I fell backwards. However, my always alert guide (Paul) quickly caught me and made sure I got on the tour boat. Pulling away from the dock gave me time to see and think about what may have been a very disruptive accident. The big event of the boat trip was an African Finfoot. After the boat tour, a drive in the park gave us a Crested Frankolin, Emerald-spotted Wood-Dove, Little Bee-eater, and Pale Flycatcher. After a good night’s rest at a very nice Lake Mburo NP (Arcadia Lodge), the morning of the 23 June was spent touring the NP. A priority to Paul was to find the Red-faced Barbet. It was an excellent find. Other birds found in the park that morning included Yellow-billed Duck, Little Sparrowhawk, Bare-faced Go-away-bird, African Cuckoo, Barn Swallow, Red-shouldered Cuckoo-shrike, Buff-bellied Warbler, Green-backed Camaroptera, Brown Babbler, White-browed Scrub-Robin, Marico Sunbird, Tropical Boubou, Fawn-breasted Waxbill, and Red-

headed Weaver. A Red-headed Lovebird flew by as we were stopping to scope two Brown Parrots just as we were leaving the park. After leaving the park, a few miles on the road trip to The Lodge near Entebbe, we saw a Lilac-breasted Roller on a wire. This was followed much later by an African Hobby. The new mammals seen that morning included Dwarf Mongoose, Common Zebra, Hartebeest, and some very elegant Impalla. On 24 June, it was a relatively short drive to and the return from Mabamba Swamp (50 kms west of Kampala); the visit to the swamp and surrounding area gave us White-winged Tern, Cape Wagtail, African Swamphen, Rufous-winged Cisticola (a split), Brown-throated Wattle-eye, and Orange Weaver. However, the bird of the whole trip was the Shoebill. I am never really sure of how my mind is going to react to a find; this time it went for a spin like: What a Wonderful Sight! Some souvenirs are unforgettable. In my opinion any new birds that were found on the last day (25 June) were extra special. That day was at Mabira Forest Reserve. This was another relatively short drive from The Lodge, except for the traffic jam after a thunderstorm when returning. However, Paul to my amazement still got us back to The Lodge in time for a shower and cleanup prior to departure time for my evening flight. I digress. Shortly after our arrival at the NP a White-throated Bee-eater flew overhead which was a surprise since it was the wrong time of year for it. Other prizes for the day included Buff-spotted Woodpecker, Green Crombec, Grey Longbill, Buff-throated Apalis, African Shrike-flycatcher, Jameson’s Wattle-eye, Little Green Sunbird, Sooty Boubou, Borcage’s Bush-shrike, and Wyns’s Weaver. Although our time in the FR was cut a little short because of a thunderstorm, it was well worth the travel time to me.
