The afternoon session was spent at Abuko Nature Reserve, being out of season we were the only ones there. Birding was a bit disappointing probably due to the time of day however we did see Violet Turaco, Woodland Kingfisher, Giant Kingfisher, Fantisawing, Blue -bellied Roller, Black-crowned Night Heron, Collared Sunbird, Didric Cuckoo, Purple Heron.
