Waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) female The various antelope are numerous through out Murchison and one of the most difficult problems for the novice, and possibly the experienced, is the certain identification of the different species. This one is a case in point. Some have many varieties within the species, while others are to young to have gained the distinguishing markings. But one thing is certain, when, like me, you visit for the first time you take everything in sight, next visit I will be looking for the unusual pictures we can get from watching the behaviour. The images here are by no means the whole story there are many more animals and birds to discover, but I will leave that for another time. Next issue I will be looking at the birds of the Victoria Nile and Murchison generally. Gordon Some are easy to distinguish close up, but at a distance you need a very experienced guide.
