Gorillas

Gorilla trekking, so up a bit later with the non-birders. I was in one-legged ‘Mad Max’s’ group so was on the easiest trek: Just an hours walk to the forest and an hour through the forest before we encountered the Gorilla family. An unforgettable experience. Even got charged by the big Silverback below!
 
Back in time for some afternoon birding and Deo had kindly arranged a session with “Sam No 1 Birder”. He had just incredible ears and incredible eyes. Saw some good birds (along with one other participant, Darcio) in the couple of hours I was with him, but dipped the rarely seen Short-tailed Warbler: Bar-tailed Trogon, Ansorge's Greenbul, and Red-throated Alethe.
