THE GAMBIA

​

I spent 2 weeks in The Gambia in late February/early March 2017 - one week in the coastal area and a week

up-country.  The coast provided good photo opportunities with many birds allowing a reasonably

close approach.  Conditions further inland were more demanding, especially in temperatures

touching 40 degrees, but there were colourful birds such as Bee Eaters and Rollers.

Most of the Gambian people that I came across were cheerful and happy to have their photograph taken.
