Birdlife at Bwindi

I was very excited to see a great crested blue turaco on our second day of gorilla trekking, a bird I've had on my list since arriving in Uganda.  I also saw a flock flying across the chimp exhibit at Entebbe Zoo a few days later.
Later that day Bonnie and I went for a bird watching walk across the river that flows through the valley, and spotted this striking double toothed barbet.

Each time we walked out of the lodge we were greeted by this pin-tailed whydah.

Outside our cottage the bushes were thick with weaver birds, bulbuls and bronze sunbirds, which started squabbling at one point; you can hear their songs on the video below.
