Very evocative. Just back from Rwanda, and this sparks lots of happy memories.

BRAIMZ		09-Oct-2017 12:28
This is so much important. I have been following this for quite some time.thanks.

SIMON GABZ GALABUZI		25-Dec-2016 16:21
GOOD ATTEMPT. I DO NOT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A EUROPEAN ROLLER AND A BLUE THROATED ROLLER. BUT ALL IN ALL THAX VERY MUCH FOR THAT ATEMP.

Milind		23-Oct-2016 10:11
Excellent, need more birds to be added. I have clicked in Akagera, but not listed here to identify.

Carl		02-May-2016 15:34
Very nice. I lived in Uganda for two years and was amazed by the different birds. I may have missed them but I didn't see photos of Ibises, white backed ravens, and probably the most annoying birds of all: the white breasted crows. (I may have the names wrong).

Giri		10-Aug-2015 04:58
This is very useful. Thank you! I am in Rwanda right now and am using this as a guide.

Jonas Rosquist		15-Aug-2014 18:25
My pictures are not the best but there a couple of things that you can see. White-tailed are more "grey-blue" above while African Blue really are blue. The same thing on the breast. But on my picture the breast is almost white on the White-tailed while the African blue has a blue breast. Quite difficult to see on my pictures but the tail on White-tailed has white outer tail feathers while African Blue has plain blue tail. Hope that you now can see some of the differences.

Guest		13-Aug-2014 13:38
What is the difference between the African blue-flycatcher and the White-tailed blue-flycatcher? I can not see the difference between the birds.

It is such a nice gallery, what amazing creatures in the pearl of Africa

Joseph Obaa		28-Feb-2014 17:24
It is such a nice gallery what a mazing creatures in the pearl of Africa

Gertrude Kabatalemwa		01-Apr-2013 15:14
I have enjoyed seeing all these birds, Uganda has many spices nearly every district Has it's own kind of birds, most birds I have never seen them in World Book of Birds Any way thank you for the work done.

Hi, your photos are amazing, beautiful and instructive. 3 years ago we bought a tiny (less then one hectare) barren island on Lake Bunyoni in Kabale, Western Uganda, and shall be building some small huts there. So far we have doing little more than establishing trees and cover for birds. Have you ever been to Lake Bunyoni ? (the name means lake of the small birds). The bird life is unbelievable. Me and my 3 year old have enjoyed your pictures so much, you would be welcome as our guest, as it would be an honour to meet you.

Peter Divall		10-May-2012 07:24
Thanks for the wonderful photos. We did a recent trip with Rockjumpers Birding Tours with Livingstone Kalema as our local guide. Did not see all the birds very well but this has helped bring back all the memories. Thanks

Donna		19-Jan-2012 01:11
Thank you so much for your pictures and identifications. I couldn't remember the names of some of the birds I got pictures of on my recent trip - your site helped a lot!

Great gallery!! Just heart breaking to think about my camera breaking down just a couple of days into my Uganda/Rwanda trip when I see your fantastic shots!

Guest		30-Jul-2010 10:03
This is amazing. Just went to Uganda myself.

Claude Gagnon		22-Jul-2010 21:46
