Brookie's Diary

• Sunday, November 20, 2005 - Gambia Day 4

 Another full day staring at 07:30am. Todays place Abuko Nature Reserve. Excellent birds, very hard to bird but well worth the reward. A few days here would had given it better justice not the few hours we did. However the highlights were Pygmy Kingfisher, Violet Turaco, Blue Breasted Kingfisher, Western Bluebill, Bar Breasted Firefinch, African Jacana, Harrier Hawk, Gabar Goshawk, Yellow Throated Leaflove, Little Greenbul (very hard to get onto but patience was rewarded), Yellow Breasted Apalis, Snowy Crowned Robin Chat, Black Necked Weaver, Common Wattle Eye, Greater Honeyguide, Pearl Spotred Owlet, Verruaex's eagle Owl, Oriole Warbler, Red Bellied Paradise Flycatcher.
Due to health problems we headed back to the hotel about 01:00pm. However Yaya and I decided to end the day around the Sewage Farm and Cycle Track. We added Northern Red Bishop, Woodland Kingfisher, Wood Sandpiper, Black Winged Stilt, and Olivaceous Warbler to the days total.

Day Total = 80 Birds

About Me

I have created this blog site to give me somewhere to record my sightings and possibly to share my sightings with others who like myself have an interest in birds and wildlife. With hopefully showing my results in digiscoping. Set up Opticron ES80 ED with Samsung i6 camera
