This was my 2nd trip to the Gambia, we visited areas more inland including Morgan Kunda, Kaur, Janjanbureh, Kunkilling Forest Park, Tendaba and several wetlands in the Central River region.
We observed 208 bird species, including 22 Lifers and 45 new species for my Gambia list.
We focused on observing our target bird species like African Finfoot, White-spotted Flufftail, Black-crowned Crane, African Pygmy Goose,
Egyptian Plover, Greater Painted Snipe, Red-throated Bee-eater, African Green Bee-eater, Adamawa Turtle Dove, Martial Eagle and more.
