More chameleons



Following on from the chameleon we found near our house a couple of months ago (http://bukobasteve.blogspot.ug/2016/10/chameleon.html) we have seen three more in recent days:

This one was found by the manager of Kipling Lodge up the Nile from Jijna.



This and the next one were found today by our guide on a walk around the waterfalls and villages near Sipi River Lodge.

Like the previous one this was in a coffee plantation and valued by the people here as pest controllers.
Given their ability to change color, how many species have I seen - 1, 2 3, or 4?  I can't imagine birding would be possible if birds could change color like these critters.  I must learn something of chameleon identification!
