Birds of Pearl Of Africa

Project progress - Bird Families of the World 200/250
80%

The Term – Uganda the Pearl of Africa become popular by Winston Churchill in 1908, and I can add “the Pearl of African birds”. Mabamba swamp, not too far from Entebbe international airport,  is the best place for the amazing monotype Shoebill.

198. Family #71: Shoebill (Balaenicipitidae) | Shoebill

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was the place for African Broadbill. Semuliki National Park was the location for the third ticked family, Hyliotas (Yellow-bellied Hyliota). 

Albertine Rift endemics species can be seen in the east parks.

199. Family #110: African and Green Broadbills (Calyptomenidae) | African Broadbill

200. Family #176: Hyliotas (Hyliotidae) | Yellow-bellied Hyliota
