Next up is another favourite of mine, and yes I have lots, a Little Bee-eater on the wing. 📍Kigali, Rwanda. #Kigali #Rwanda #Birds 🪶

Thanks to continued conservation efforts in Rwanda, Grey Crowned Cranes are making a strong comeback. Once severely threatened, these iconic birds are thriving again in the wild. 📍 Umusambi Village, Kigali, Rwanda. #Birds #NaturePhotography #Rwanda 🪶

Next up, one of my favourite turacos—the Ross’s Turaco. Almost prehistoric-looking, my daughter calls it the “primary colour bird.” That vivid red on the wings? It’s from turacin, a rare pigment unique to turacos. 📍Nyarutarama, Kigali, #Rwanda #Birds #NaturePhotography

In one week, I say goodbye to Rwanda and relocate to Tanzania. After 4½ unforgettable years, I’m reflecting on the wildlife that made this chapter so special. I’ll be sharing some of my favourite images in the days ahead. First up this Malachite Kingfisher. 📍Kigali, Rwanda.

A critically endangered Red-ruffed Lemur eyes up their next leap… 📍 Vakona Lemur Island, Andasibe, Madagascar. #Madagascar #Primates #NaturePhotography

Hamerkop returning to their nest… A shutter speed of 1/80 blurred the wings and panning enabled me to keep the rest in focus. 📍Kigali, Rwanda. #Birds #NaturePhotography 🪶
