Honestly, I did not change the order of the birds, and this one is even more beautiful so it deserves to share the #100 place . Also because it is the official bird of Uganda.   BY 100 (+1)

Living so close to the Nature Reserve is beneficial. Although I am not allowed to visit most of the it as it is in the next municipality, and traffic between the municipalities is now not permitted, I still have a nice chunk of nature to wander around, and even before the lockdown, there were only a few others out there.

To avoid encountering others who want to do their daily exercise I have changed my walks to paths less visited. That gave me a new bird.

Great bird from your window!

 

Technically, it was through the glass door to the balcony. And after few initial clicks, I have even managed to open the door without spooking the bird.

Have you noticed the deep blue of the sky? It was almost summer time temperature today.

We get a kestrel visit the garden but it's not very often..nice capture and sighting Alex. The weather here is fabulous too. We have been having B-B-Q's most evenings for the last few days, most unusual for April!

BY 2019 I was trying hard to reach 1 bird per day ... and have failed by 3 birds. One not posted was a bird that has been out there each day. So this year better to get it posted now.
