The #Africanspoonbill can live up to #15years and loves fresh water where fish are readily available. Their elongated beak is used to scoop fishy treats from shallow water, lakes and rivers. You really can’t miss the spoonbill, they can grow to the size of a young toddler although they scare quite easily so a pair of binoculars are essential. Although most #travellers visit Uganda for #gorillatrekking, this #beautifulcountry has so much more to offer. #Try this #birding tour through Uganda’s best locations...#welljustmentionit #tellafriend #visitUganda #try a #birdingadventure #checkout #excitingbirdingitineraries on www.ssemambotours.com ..#moreseasonalofferswaiting #affordablediscounts ....dont be left back #emailus ...#info@ssemambotours.com
