Greene, K. 1990 October 28 (continued) My head made hopping and croaking sounds that I at first mistook for someone walking and tossing stones in a methodical way. While we ate two ibis flew low over the swamp in tight formation, like jets, squawking loudly like New Year's noisemakers. One pair of Hyperelias have laid a flat, round sheet (1 egg deep) on side of a plastic bag, and list says they are typically placed just above water level on the sedges - our camp faces N across a small end of the swamp arm running from NW (our end) to SE, ~50-60 m across and >=100 m from the end to the "bridge" of poles in the water where we walked across from the trail coming in. Swamp is almost a monoculture of sedges 2-2.5m high above water. Tallest surrounding trees are ~30 m, many festooned w/moss. By 1000 h there are heavy clouds after a brief burst of sun earlier. Photographed and pickled while ~2 sq. frogs called from the swamp. Great Blue Turacos flew over w/rareous croaks, flashing bright blue-green over wings; yesterday one dropped into a tree over our camp that had bright red under the wings. From 1430-1630 h I walked SE w/Vincent (Game Guard) for ~2km along the SE border of our arm of Mubwindi Swamp. We saw elephant droppings everywhere, and places where their huge footprints went out into the swamp edge; did gorilla nests on the opposite slopes; and fresh felid dropping ~the size of a lyre and therefore probably golden cat. A cloudy afternoon w/periodic light drizzle (heavy rain started soon after we returned to camp). Vincent says the commonest snake here is Atteus mitschei, which they see coiled on leaves. Back at camp, huddled around our fire under the
