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)

More good photos. Zvezda really delivered with that Buttonquail.

 

What are you saving for the 100? The Nkulengu Rail?

Damn you are so impatient, @Galana! Here it goes; the surprise is not the bird but the photographer! And to some, the quality of his photos (to me anyway) :D! And no, I have not jumped forward or backward :).
