stuny Posted March 25, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ngamba Island (the orphaned chimpanzee sanctuary) was our first stop in Uganda. As well as being a wonderful experience for viewing and interacting with chimpanzees (see Barbara's trip notes on our site for Uganda & Rwanda) it was a haven for many beautiful species of birds. Seen here is a gray kestral. You can see many more photos from this trip in the Uganda & Rwanda photo gallery on our site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground Posted March 25, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2009 Nice angle of view. I don't know much about birds, but I would guess the hawk family? I would also say that guy would take off a finger! Was this with your DMR? great catch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michali Posted March 25, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 25, 2009 Stuart- Nice perspective and detail. Kestrels are one of my favorite birds of prey. They're so versatile and adaptable and can survive in urban environments as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a picture that I took right after getting my first Leica (R8 film) of an American Kestrel, which you can see in the Virgin Gorda photo gallery on our site. Beautiful, fascinating birds.
