Best time to do birding in Uganda

You can do a bird watching trip to Uganda any time of the year, depending on your interest but to keep you aware, there are Intra African migrants which are vertical from southern Africa where early arrivals are in Uganda starting July through August to September among which are numerous cuckoos such as the low level foraging but canopy calling Barred Long-tailed Cuckoo which spends most of the summer in the southern countries of Malawi and Mozambique, the glossy Vulnerable and globally threatened Blue Swallow, which breeds in high altitude grasslands of South Africa, Southern Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Malawi among other countries.

Some of the highly sought after birds in Uganda can easily be seen starting June through September but July and August being the epic birding months. Among which we have the extremely localized Grauer's Broadbill, which nests starting late May at this time of the year. Mubwindi Swamp in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the place to look for this incredible bird and can easily be seen when nesting.

December, January and February are generally good months to as it is dry and trees are shading off leaves to offer easy sightings for some high canopy dwelling species like the small rare IturiBatis, the constantly moving while calling Uganda Woodland Warbler among others, this is also one of the best times for Uganda's only endemic species the Fox's Weaver and good to visit the kidepo Valley National Park for the Stone Partridges, the spectacular huge and massive ivory billed Black-breasted Barbet, Hartlaub's, Buff Crested and White-bellied Bustards, the very localized and endemic East African KaramojaApalis, the visiting Grasshopper Buzzard from the northern tropics is around this time of the year together with the nomadic and gregarious Abdim's Stork among others.
