In between our two times with the Tanji beach birds, we were at Tujerang Woods in the Gambia.

Then, a small brown-backed woodpecker, pecking at a tree.

Then, a migrant from southern Europe: a subalpine warbler in a tree with orange flowers.

This is a video of a subalpine warbler vagrant in Sweden.

And here is a photo of the Tujerang Woods subalpine warbler.

The flowers also attracted a scarlet-chested sunbird.

A red-billed hornbill on the footpath.

Village weavers in a tree with yellow drinking tanks for birds.

Not far away, another European bird spending the winter here: a chiffchaff.
