Many, many thanks to the local guides and UWA staff- all of them worked hard for us, finding us wildlife and making sure we were safe. I can only recommend you visit if you can.

There are a lot of 'odd' looking bird species in the world and this Abyssinian Ground Hornbill (Bucorvus abyssinicus) is certainly one of them. Another prehistoric bird species from #Uganda ! Seen in Semliki Wildlife Reserve.

These are females (males have red around the eyes).

Look at the way it scratches its tail at the end 😂
