Queen Elizabeth National Park

African Pied WagtailA decent day of Savanna birding. Not many ticks but Senegal Lapwing was nice. Got annoyed with Deo again as we drove away from a White-tailed Lark that I was grilling to look at Three-banded Plover and Temminck's Courser. Also saw a (unfortunately not photographed) Pipit amongst the Grasveld Pipits that looked spot-on for Jackson’s Pipit: Extremely buff underneath; almost a pale orange. Otherwise as Grassland Pipit though possibly slightly darker above? Not heard to call.
Some decent animals to, including Lions and a lovely sunset at the lodge overlooking Lake Edward.
