A day to remember

Today we had what may be our last day off this trip so we decided to go birdwatching.
We went out with our friend Alex Drammeh and what a day we had. At 8am we started round Kotu Creek and by 10am we had seen 55 species, from Kotu to Tanji where we increased our total to 75 including an Osprey catching fish amongst the boats. From there we drove down to the Senegal border and wandered round the pools and along the beach bringing our total to 92, we were hoping to reach the 100 mark so drove to Footsteps Eco Lodge where over a cool drink we brought our total up to 101.
If anyone is thinking of coming to The Gambia for bird watching Alex is your man, not only will he find birds for you but he also knows the places of interest for the not so keen (wives ?). He has a comfortable vehicle, will take you where ever you would like to go and is a very good friend to the charity. He can be reached by e-mail at drammehalhagie@yahoo.co.uk or by phone on (220) 9800518.
Give him a call we are sure you will not be disappointed.
