Résumé :	This study presents results of the recovery of bird populations in a logged compartment in Budongo Forest Reserve. Compartment W21 was first logged in 1963-64 and again in 1996-97. Between 1993-95 studies were conducted to establish the long-term effects of selective logging covering five compartments, including W21. A followup study in W21 alone was undertaken in April-September 1998. Data were collected using the same methods (point counts and mistnetting) used in 1993-95 to allow comparison of results for the two studies. The results showed that most forest specialist species were present in W21 after the 1996-97 logging, and there was no evidence of species loss as a result of logging. Assessment of species diversity by use of the logarithmic series showed that W21 was more diverse before the 1996-97 logging took place. There was a significant increase in abundance of birds after logging. All feeding guilds also showed significant increases, except for frugivore-insectivore and frugivore-granivore guilds. This study, where a logged compartment is monitored before and after logging, was the first of its kind in Uganda. It is hoped that the study will act as a model for long-term monitoring and future efforts should aim at detecting changes in the population, especially changes in abundance and feeding guilds.
