22 nov
Lång förflyttning idag till Kibale National Park, får lite tid att fota innan avfärd. Vi ser lite marknad längs vägen. Plötsligt får vi telefon, första bilen har fått en vattenflaska mot vindrutan, varpå den sprack. De vill ta upp jakten på förövaren. Efter en stund träffar de några poliser som inte vill ta fast förövarna utan hänvisar till polisstationen i Fort Portal. Vi far dit för att anmäla och jag kan samtidigt titta på fjärilar på tomten, problemet var att jag eg inte vågade fotografera där, men något smygkort blev det. Om vår schimpansjakt kan ni läsa på annan plats.

Vi besöker Bigodi swamp och ser många fåglar och apor på en lång promenad. Sedan åker vi vidare till Fort Portal. Hotellet är sådär ffa maten men vi får se på en bröllopsmiddag utanför.

Ur Wikipedia:
-The Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary is an fascinating area, located in Magombe swamp. this area is recognized for a extensive array of biodiversity among which are several primates species like the red colobus monkey, baboon, black & white colobus monkey, blue monkey grey cheeked, mangabey, vervet monkey, red tailed monkey and the L’Hoest monkey. Additional Mammals such as chimpanzees, Sitatunga, mongooses, bush pigs, otters plus bush bucks, also visit this swamp coming from the adjacent Kibale National Park. This swamp is supports more than 200 species of birds, among which is the most well-known bird – Great Blue Turaco (Corythaeola Cristata).
Grey-cheeked mangabey , Lophocebus albigena, familjen markattartade apor. The grey-cheeked mangabey lives in a variety of habitats with the forests of Central Africa, it is generally thought to live in either swamp or primary forests, in some areas it has also been found in secondary forest as well. Some authors in the past have considered the species to be restricted to the forest canopy, however more recently habituated troops have been observed on the forest floor collecting food. It feeds primarily on fruit, particularly figs, taking other fruits seasonally, as well as shoots, flowers and insects. The grey-cheeked mangabey lives in groups of between 5 to 30 individuals. The groups have either a single male or (more usually) several, without a single dominant male. Young males leave the troop once they are adult and join other troops, whereas the females stay in the troop of their birth. If troops become too large they may split. Confrontations between troops are rare, as this mangabey will usually avoid other troops. Their territories cover several square miles of forest, and can both overlap with other troops and shift over time.
The Uganda mangabey (Lophocebus ugandae) is a species of Old World monkey found only in Uganda, it is probably Uganda’s only endemic primate. This crested mangabey was previously thought to be just be a population of the grey-cheeked mangabey (L. albigena). Colin Groves upgraded the Ugandan population into the new species L. ugandae on February 16, 2007. This species is dramatically smaller than the grey-cheeked mangabey, with a shorter skull and smaller face.
Ugandan red colobus Procolobus tephrosceles . Recognised as a distinct species in 2001 the Ugandan red colobus had previously been considered a subspecies of P. badius, and later a subspecies of P. foai. There is currently a debate as to whether it should be considered a subspecies of P. rufomitratus.
The Ugandan red colobus has a rust-red cap with a dark grey to black face, although infants are born with completely black faces. There is more variation amongst the coat colours of the Ugandan red colobus with back colour ranging from black to dark grey through to a reddish brown. The sides of the body and the arms and legs are a light grey. They have very long dark to light brown tails which they rely on for balancing when climbing and leaping through the canopy. The Ugandan red colobus has dark grey to black hands and feet and their feet are very long which helps them leap large distances.
