Have been trying for a male Northern Red Bishop in breeding plumage for a while, finally got one yesterday at Kartong on the #Gambia southern border. Bird was ringed probably from Kartong bird observatory.

Good afternoon. Great to see plenty of little Bee-eaters still about today in the Palma Rima area Kotu the #Gambia. Always makes me smile how they toss the bees about.

Good morning. I've read in the bird guides the Woodland Kingfisher mainly eats insects, got photos of one doing it yesterday. Kotu area the #Gambia.

Good afternoon. Sorted some lifers out I'd not posted before on to one post, I like to post at least once any new bird I get, the #Gambia.G Honeyguide,P B Pelican,B B Roller,N Crombec, G B Tern & S Ibis.

Good morning. Another bird I've not posted before a Whimbrel. Recently taken Tanji fishing village & at Kotu bridge the #Gambia. Surprised how many migratory waders have a few birds stay over in the year.

Good evening. Birding was slow today but there is always some wildlife to be seen. Few Dragonflies amongst the Butterflies in the Kotu area #Gambia today. This one stood out it's a Portia Widow I think.

Good morning. Migrants coming through now Garden Warbler & Pied Flycatcher but partly hidden. Better photo of this Blackcap Babbler not posted before Kotu the #Gambia.

Checking my records noticed I've not posted a Red-chested Swallow before and as I like to post at least one of my new birds. This is one taken in the field by the Kotu bird hide the #Gambia.

Good morning. Common enough bird here in the #Gambia Bronze Manikin taken recently nature trail Kotu. Was going to put a single bird tight crop on, but decided to get the flock instead.

Good afternoon. New bird for feeder area at home, Lavender Waxbill not posted one before. Cracking little birds.

Good morning. Posted a Blackcap Babbler recently this is the Brown. Took Kotu Gambia recently another bird not posted before.

Good afternoon. Recent visit to Tanji fishing village the Gambia produced this lifer for me. Lesser Crested Tern distant but still nice to see.

Good afternoon. Two birds I've not posted before taken yesterday in Bartukunku area of the Gambia. Zitting Cisticola & Variable Sunbird

Good afternoon. Sandwich Terns came in from the office shore islands setting on local fishing boats c150, a lifer plus a Black Tern first for the Gambia.

Good morning. Well that's my first year living in the Gambia completed. Some ups & downs, but can't complain about the birding. Two birds I've not posted before taken at Brufut Woods make the 100th different bird species posted, African Thrush & White-browed Robin Chat.

Good morning. Surprisingly not posted one of these Wattled Plovers before maybe because it's fairly common, but a nice looking bird. Kotu Bridge the #Gambia.

Good morning. Few Ringed Plovers about at the moment in the Gambia. This one was taken at Tanji. I have not posted one from here before, I'm used to them having an orange beak in the UK.

Good afternoon. First returning Greenshank, Wood Sandpiper & these Black-winged Stilts which I've not posted before. Taken at Badala park pools yesterday.

Good morning. Always happy to see these Little Bee-eaters feeding. Yesterday Palma Roma area the Gambia. Not sure what the insect is.
