15 February 2012 in Kotu in the Gambia.
After the “hamerkop pond” birds, it is time to go to the airport.
This video is about birdwatching in the Gambia.
The bus passes the Sheraton hotel, with cattle egrets on its lawns.
We pass a sign along the road, which say: “Stop littering. Gambia is beautiful, Keep it clean”. The sign reminds me of the cattle egret which I saw flying this morning with a plastic bag entangled around its legs. Like in many other countries, there are much more signs for commercial promotion than for promoting the environment.
12:30: Banjul International Airport. Pied crows on trees. A hooded vulture flies past.
14:24: our plane takes off.
18:30: we pass the Strait of Gibraltar.
19:17: we fly over Madrid.
20:55: Lille, in northern France.
I may still blog on Gambia, if I find photographs which I forgot earlier; or if I find out how to post an iPhone made-music video on this blog, etc.
There are other Gambian bird photos here.
