Entebbe Botanic Gardens

Arrived in Entebbe and the first bird seen was a Long-crested Eagle from inside the plane. Met by taxi driver and taken to lodge. Freshened up, birded the garden for a bit, and chatted with my five companions who had arrived over the previous day or so.

Our Guide Deo, and driver (also a decent birder) Luke then turned up and we went for a couple of hours birding until dusk at the Botanic Gardens. Obvious highlight was Ross’s Turaco. but other new birds included Black-and-White Casqued Hornbill, Red-chested Sunbird, and a few Weaver species, including a single Orange Weaver, the only one of the trip.
