They are Crowned Cranes, and the national bird of Uganda, and features on the flag, pretty special. They're shy and run away if you try and get close, so I don't have a decent picture myself yet. They wander around the base night and day, a nice touch.
However, I was not lovin' them last night. They took a walk down to the block where the staff stay. They look pretty, but looks can be deceiving, you should hear the noise they make. It is so unattractive, kind of a cross between a duck and a goose. Not appealing, especially when one is trying to get some shut eye.
