White-Faced Whistling Duck

I previously did a post (on July 4, 2018) on white faced whistling ducks we saw in Botswana. This past July, while taking a wood motor boat in the Mabamba Swamp on Lake Victoria near Entebbe, Uganda, we got close looks of the same bird which I'm going to share. They are a really beautiful.

Yellow-Billed Shrike

We saw at least four different yellow-billed shrikes in Kidepo Valley NP in Uganda but I don't have much recollection of the sightings. 

A distinctive orange patch is visible in this photo to the left of the rump (usually concealed by the closed wing) as well as the brown central tail feathers. 

I love the band over the eye that gives it the look of a bandit and the yellow bill which jumps out.

The subspecies affinis is found in southern South Sudan, northeastern DRC, western Kenya and northern Uganda. 

In addition to the facial mask it has a buff supercilium and fawn brown upperparts with streaks of black.
