Not an African bird, but never seen any bird with feathered feet.

Thanks dcd.

You made it safe and sound.

Did you tour the Blixen House.?

There is a neat restaurant there called The Predator,
where you can eat some African animal meat.!!

Keep those pictures coming.

Don't know why that bird has feathers on its feet
..... it does not get cold there

The Penguins need those feathers.😉🙃

Thanks for the beautiful photos.
You were brave to get that close to the silverback!

Thanks dcd:
Welcome back home. I hope the plane ride (s) were uneventful.

Thanks so far for the wonder pictures. I am so looking forward to more , and I know how great the birds are there, so that will really be an extra treat.

I am hoping you got to see your Leopard and got a taste of the Great Migration.!!

Right now you are probably getting some much needed :sleep: :sleep:

Beautiful photos! The silverback moment sounds unforgettable — what an incredible experience to have in Bwindi. We love seeing such journeys documented, just like how we track global routes at Locate Parcels.
