Uganda, wildlife
Lens: DA* 60-250mm (+TC 1.7AF) Camera: K-7 Photo Location: Uganda

Uganda does not have the game reserves filled with animals as you will find them in Tanzania, Kenia, Zambia or Botswana.
However, there are a few areas where the game is returning slowly.

Here a few pictures of what we found:

Shoebill:



Bush elephant (smaller than African Elephant, aggressive and almost black):



Tree lion:



Crocodile:



Storks:



The abundant Uganda Cob:

Bush baby

This one I should have added in the OP:

A bush baby, shot at ISO 6400, 153mm, 1/13 sec. f 4.0, manual focus.
The bush baby was one of four that were fed at a lodge.
They used small red led lights to iluminate them.

I cleaned up the noise somewhat with LR3.

The elephant and the lion are my favourites from this set. Very nice series!

(I didn't know abot the Bush Elephant, so you've taught me something as well
