Just returned from a bird watching trip to The Gambia with fantastic guide Ebrima Barry...e-mail address ebrimaeboy@yahoo.com.
Added 160 new birds to my list in two and a half days. As a relative newcomer to birding I am really chuffed! Half day trip to Abuko Nuture Reserve then two days up country at Tendaba Camp. Fantastic.
