Rwanda, Day 2. Volcanoes national park.

In the morning we went to Volcanoes national park, well known as a place to view the mountain gorillas. I decided not to do that but to have a walking, birding tour of the park. We did still get to see the Golden Monkeys, though.

Also, many new bird species, the header image is a Regal Sunbird.

As mentioned on day 1, Sunbirds are a large group of birds, they feed on nectar, and the females are often drab and brown, but the males are spectacularly colourful. The one above is a Northern Double-collared Sunbird.

African Stonechat. Very similar to the European Stonechat.

The Regal Sunbird is one of my favourites, so incredibly colourful.

This Weaver is strange… really, the Strange Weaver.

An Ibis, the Hadada Ibis, apparently named for the call, which ebird describes as the sound of Africa.

This Sunbird is the Green-headed Sunbird.

Leaving Volcanoes park behind we headed south and a little west, aiming for Nyungwe national park.
