Instagram post 2194792028364581895_22210946701 Red-throated Wryneck on the road near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda. This was a hell of a bird to see and see well! #africanbirdingexpo #uganda #woodpeckersofinstagram #birdsofinstagram #birdstagram #birds #pearlofafrica #redthroatedwryneck
Instagram post 2194100506820202410_22210946701 Hamerkop is amazingly abundant in Uganda: we’ve seen multiples nearly every day we’ve been here. Their abundance might make them less exciting for birders to see but they are really fun birds to watch and digiscope. Also, they keep theft of carpentry tools at record lows. #africanbirdingexpo #pearlofafrica #hamerkop #digiscoping #birdstagram  #birdsofinstagram #birds #uganda #dadjokes
