The whole of Ugana was a biodiversity wonder... I loved it. Mind you, it was the place I found the most butterflies in East africa!
Yes Luis, and they have a One Pip and Two Pip Policeman also. With 1 or 2 black spots respectively in the white stripe. I laughed so hard when I first heard the name...
Funny name. Glad they have the sanctuary, obviously there is a great quantity of wildlife.
